This is the beginning of our trip home for Shane’s wedding. Lucas had to be in various cities in California all week for work so he flew in before Monday but I just wanted to see family and go to Shane’s wedding so I flew in on Wednesday night. My dad picked me up from the airport and we went straight to Sky Sushi, my favorite restaurant. When we left the restaurant I had to lean my seat back in the car because I couldn’t sit up straight, my stomach was too full! I usually don’t eat a ton but this time I did. Dad said I ate more than him and I think he’s right! When we got home my mom had homemade caramel ready to drizzle over apples. She knew I really wanted to visit Apple Hill (mostly for a caramel apple) but we couldn’t go because of “King Fire.” My parents spoil me with food : )
Thursday morning I hung out with my brother-in-law and nieces and nephews. They are so entertaining. The picture below is of Jane. I don’t know why this picture makes me laugh so hard. Maybe because I can’t keep a straight face so I’m extra impressed that she can as a 1 year old. She wore those backpacks for almost an hour.
Joe and the kiddies dropped me off at the light rail station and off I went to meet Lucas in San Francisco to go to the Giants vs Padres game. This was an interesting experience for me because I’ve been on public transit less times than I have fingers. Don’t worry, I made it safely to the city and even got to ride on the top of a double decker bus! For those that need to travel from Sacramento to San Francisco, MegaBus is amazing. It costs $8 for a one-way ticket (cheaper than gas to get there), is a direct ride with no stops, has comfortable seats, a bathroom, free wifi and large windows : ) MegaBus also has several other routes.
Since we bought cheap tickets our seats had a lame/distant view of the game. So we spent the second half of the game standing behind people that paid a lot for their tickets : )
In addition to this hot chocolate corner, there are guys walking around the stadium with large backpack/tanks attached to their backs with hot chocolate in them. I chased one down to get a cup because I can’t yell loud enough to get anyone’s attention. I hate to say it but my tiny $6 hot chocolate was worth the money!
My father-in-law said he’d pay for our tickets if we got a picture with the mascot. Lou Seal never left the field so we couldn’t get to him! Does this picture count??
We stayed in a hotel south of the city and woke up to this wonderful view. So fun to have a weekend getaway in one of our favorite cities!
