Reunion Part 2 - Golf and Football

The second day of the reunion celebration was a "choose your own event" day.  Several activities were offered by the reunion committee:  a chauffered tour of various wineries, 18 holes of golf on Camp Pendleton, a card-playing tournament, and a shopping trip to Old Town.

You might guess which option Frank chose.

A perfect day for golf

Linda did not attend any of the reunion events on this day.  She spent the day visiting friends, shopping for shoes, buying some souvenirs, and checking out yet another local yarn store.

The next day was Friday, which of course means high school football.  A small group from the reunion crowd attended the Homecoming Game at the high school.    Once again, Frank met up with many old acquaintances at the game, and got his field pass from the athletic director.

The Oceanside football team this year is an absolute powerhouse  . . . top-rated in the county, and unstoppable so far.  Their poor opponent, Ramona, got beat up pretty bad by the Pirates.  It looks like OHS is on its way to another CIF county championship.

After the game, Frank and Linda went out for dinner with classmate Richard Moon and his wife Cozette.   Vigilucci's has amazing Italian fare, and it was a welcome change from the the guacamole and salsa menus we've been indulging in so much.

There is a background to the restaurant choice, though.  At first, we all decided to go back to Boars Cross'n because we had had such a good time, and good food there, during the Wednesday reunion icebreaker.  Well, we soon found out that the Boars Cross'n is a wholly different place on Friday nights.  It's a wildly popular Friday Night place for the younger crowd  . . .  complete with cover charge, a loud band, and singles everywhere.

We oldsters preferred the quiet ambiance of some late night pasta and wine, and that's how we ended up at Vigilucci's.
