San Francisco first night - Mets vs. Giants















I appreciate that Stephen enjoys baseball - and that he humors my desire to visit ballparks - even when the teams playing are not my Astros or his Tigers... So, I checked the Giants and the Athletics. The Athletics were in Detroit playing the Tigers - but the Giants were in town! So, we programed the TomTom to take us to AT&T park and had much better success arriving at the desired destination! It took us right to the front door - but the parking situation is very similar to Houston - there is not a dedicated parking lot, you just have to hunt around and find your favorite $20 parking lot...

We walked up to the ticket window after parking our car and bought row 8 tickets just past first base. Thursday night with no give aways is not a popular night to head to the ballpark.

The ballpark is beautiful, but in mid-May it is a bit chilly in the evening, which may be why there was only one lonely kayaker - we didn't see any balls go over the wall.

I was a bit shocked at the ball boy - what a wonderful retirement plan. =)
