GIANTS and San Franscisco

We had a really hard time deciding what to do for our birthdays this year. Last year Shawn really outdid himself with a scavenger hunt, surprise visit from my best friend and a camera that I had been wanting...oh and the skydiving that my mom got for us! So this year we wanted to do something fun, but didn't really have any ideas. Leave it up to Shawn to come up with something to equal last year! A Giants game and 2 nights in the city. It was even more exciting when we found out that Brent and Teresa and the gang would be coming as well....and that they would be buying the tickets as their gift!! We had such a good time! I got off work at around 1 and we headed down to the city. We met with Brent and Teresa down in the lobby and went and picked Byron and Christina up at their hotel. We ended up just taking the Caltrain down to the game, with driving and parking we just decided it would be easier. We got to the game without too much trouble. The game was a lot of fun! I'm really glad Teresa brought extra jackets and a blanket...it was pretty cold!! I loved our seats because we could see the bay bridge, all of the buildings and the bay.

One of my favorite players is Nate Schierholtz, so Shawn made sure to get a nice close-up!

One of the most popular players is Pablo Sandoval, of course everyone has those Panda hats on, I'm not really that into him, but whatever.

Cute picture of the Newlyweds, Byron and Christina, and Brent in the background!

Us...you can't really see Shawn's shirt with him sitting but it say's Fear the Beard...Brian Wilson!

Teresa! She kept trying to get us to scoot down since the people next to us never showed, the boys eventually moved down there!

The FIGHT! I can't remember which inning it was, I know that it was later one of the pitchers from SF accidentally hit one of the Padres batters, well evidentally they thought it was intentional so both benches completely cleared and they were seriously fighting forever!!

This picture is really blurry but it's funny because you can see that the Beard (Brian Wilson) even came out to see what was going on...he's a little crazy, but we love him!

I would have been really disappointed if Brian Wilson hadn't pitched and we got really lucky..at the very end they brought him out!

The rest of the weekend was so relaxing. We got up Saturday (we actually slept in!) went to Half Moon Bay, so pretty there, and just walked around the town. We had lunch at this amazing restaurant called Pasta Moon, if you're ever in the area you have to go there!! Then we came back to the city, had some dinner and just relaxed. I told Shawn we definitely need to do this at least once a year. It's just so nice to get out of town and have time together where we're not worried about school, work, life, anything!! Thanks Shawn for such a great weekend, and thank you Brent and Teresa for a great time, we had a BLAST!
