Jon and Traci came to visit us...yeah for family visiting!
We went to San Fran to see our first Giants game and stopped at the pier of course.
Cooper got a little nervous on the carousel.
Looking at the sea creatures.
At the Giants game...the one and only game we will ever go to. That is checked off our bucket lists forever! We picked the WRONG week to go...the Boston Marathon bombing was this week. So we got there and parking took a bit and by the time we walked up to the stadium there was a line a mile long...yes to get in. The game was starting right then. We payed a lot for these tickets. It wasn't cheap. And I wasn't going to wait in line for an hour to catch the end of the game. I wasn't happy. I noticed no one was walking to the end of the line and it wasn't moving. So I walked up and noticed that everyone was merging at the front of the stadium and making it so the line to get in wasn't moving very fast at all. They were checking everyone for bombs of course since that new stadium holds almost 100K people. Crazy huge. So I called Eric and he walked up with the kids and we were in the stadium in 5 minutes. Thank goodness. I normally would wait in line but since everyone else was doing it, I went for it. I wanted to get our moneys worth. We already were 1/2 hour late for the game. We walked and walked up and up until we finally got to the level of our seats. We were high up there for sure. The game was little tiny people playing baseball. It was hard to get into the game and pay attention since it was so little. The kids (surprisingly) didn't dig it much. They were bored and just wanted food. So Eric finally got them chicken strips and fries, and popcorn and it was $25. Crazy. Ryder was tired and didn't like it. Eric left and walked around with him most of the game. We should have payed a babysitter and went without kids. It would have saved us money and we would have enjoyed it a lot more. The kids didn't really care about the game. Probably because we were so high up. They had fireworks at the end so I told Eric we couldn't leave early. I think he would have. The fireworks were pretty with the bay. We got home at 2:30am...it wasn't worth it but we experienced it. Not sure we picked the right game...but they did one at the last section. So that was good. We cheered when it was over. Hehe I guess baseball isn't our sport!
The bored kids!
Saturday we took the boat out for a little ride. On the way to the lake, The boat trailer started to smoke. Eric wasn't far from home so he drove home. He had to replace a lot of the brakes and misc wheel parts. We finally made it to the lake and did a test drive. It got very cold and windy. It didn't last long. A fun day in deed.
It was a fun weekend, full of adventures. Never a dull moment for sure. Just spending time with family was worth it all for with me! Thanks for driving here to visit us Jon and Traci!
