play ball

This week we had a team offsite at Campo di Bocce in Los Gatos. Our entire extended team at work was invited to spend part of Tuesday afternoon eating, drinking, and playing bocce.

It was really nice (really what fun activity in the middle of the paid workday isn't) and we had great sunny, warm weather for our outdoor courts. Why I never thought to organize a trip here in my 2 years of organizing events for graduate students, I don't know...

I have my own set of antique bocce balls, which I have never played with. Looking at the clay ones we used, I don't think my mahogany ones would last very long out there.

Thanks to Brandi for organizing and taking these great photos!
