One last Outing...

We had to go out with a bang...so what would be more perfect than spending the day in San Francisco!  Sheldon had the amazing idea to get tickets to a Giants game (baseball team...big deal I guess they were the champions last year for something...!) Sheldon almost had a cow when I asked what sport they played!! I can't keep all the teams straight we are rooting for!...
The day couldn't have been more perfect...
We started the day out by going to Twin Peaks (an overlook of the city)


The view was absolutely breath taking! From up here the city seemed peaceful and less intimidating, driving around the streets is always stressful and crazy but from up here it was beautiful.
After this we headed back into the madness to try to find parking for the game...this was the only part of the whole day that gave me an anxiety attack!  I don't think I've ever seen so many people in one area...and all of them were trying to park at the same time we were! Public parking is so expensive it's a joke...$30 for an evening...I don't think so!!  I also think it's funny that you have to have cash to pay...who carries that much cash...really! I guess we should have been a little more prepared...we only had $10 so I did something way out of my character....I don't like big cities, crowds of unfamiliar people, and scary stressful situations!
We were looking for an ATM (thank goodness for the GPS) but traffic was nuts...we were at a red light and Sheldon saw an ATM sign but we weren't sure how to get to it.  I got a burst of courage inside of me and I jumped out of the car to get cash!! I don't know what came over me...there were tons of people swarming the streets and I jumped right in the middle of them! Wow...when Sheldon was able find me..I was proud of my accomplishment! A minute later we found parking...for $10!! We didn't need the extra cash-oh well I feel like I overcame a few of my fears!



The game was amazing! They won..and it was overall an great way to end our California adventure!  We are now true Giants fans...FEAR THE BEARD! (my favorite chant of the night!)
