World Series fun in San Francisco

When the Giants made it to the World Series, it was just too crazy for us to think we were so close to the games without going to the city to try to participate in the fun! I was just starting to get over being sick all of the time, and hadn't spent an entire day away from home at this point, so I was a little nervous about the outing, but it ended up being a day full of Awesomeness :)

Some times there are days that everything just goes your way, and this was one of them for us! From avoiding a large piece of metal on the interstate (that caused 8 or so other cars to have flat tires), to making the it to the train just in the nick of time to make it to the city, and the best part - we were able to snag tickets to view 3 innings of the game from the right field of the stadium... for free!

Here are a few pics to document the fun!

The train ride:










We grabbed some lunch then took a walk around the stadium:



















If I had it my way, this is the amount of cotton candy I would have eaten :) I absolutely love that stuff!













After our walk around the stadium, we decided to attempt to stand in a line to get the free tickets to watch the game from ground level of right field. Based on looks, we doubted there would be enough tickets for us. They handed out bracelets in group 3 groups - each group was able to watch 3 innings of the game. We ended up getting the last 3 innings which were the BEST innings of the game to watch where all of the action occurred! It was so exciting!

While we waited for the first few innings to pass, this is where we listened to the game. There were so many fans with radios... and being in the city, it also brought other things (I wondered if the twins were going to start getting the "munchies" because it was so bad! I constantly had my nose in my shirt to try to filter it!)

This is where the fun happened as we watched the last few innings of the game from right field!!








































I only ended up buying one bag of cotton candy despite my desires to do otherwise :)






















To end the night wonderfully, we were able to escape the madness quickly and make the train to go back home with a few seconds to spare :) We had the best day and were so glad we made the venture to the city to enjoy the celebration and fun!
Go Giants!
