12-28-10 - Arrived here in Oakland about 12:30 as we pulled up to the Woodfin Suites near the Oakland Bay bridge in the town of Emeryville. Lisa and Dwayne arrived about 1:45 and we got things in order in our room.
Then did some exploring in the area and lots of places to shop. The girls went to Micheal's and we headed to Best Buy. Then it started to rain & rain for the rest of the day. We did get something to eat at the Elephant Ear restaurant. Then after eating it was time to find where Evan's basketball game was being played.
Well we found the school but couldn't get in as the gates were locked. During all this running around it was down pouring. We finally had to park up on a street and walk about a 1/4 mile down steep steps to the gym. We got there in time for the game. We started very slow and were using a zone defense which didn't work. They were hitting everything and got ahead of us like, 30-15. Then in the second halve we switched to a man for man defense and things got much better. We closed the score to 33-34 and then it went back and forth the rest of the way. Evan played an excellent game and was high point with 17 points. They finally lost in a close game 50-44.
Today when we got up the rains had stopped and things are looking better. Evan plays in a loser's bracket game starting at 5 PM. We are now trying to figure out what we will do during the day here in Oakland and are close to Frisco.
