San Fran and Oakland

Driving across the Bay Bridge on our way to San Fran. The bridge toll was only 6 bucks. What an expensive daily commute if you work in San Fran.
We first stopped off at Fort Point after our GPS thing lead us through I think every street in San Francisco. Let's just say we saw the same street multiple times. Stupid quickest route thing.
Some shots of the Golden Gate Bridge.


This is at the top of Fort Point. It was so windy and cold at the top. It was freezing!!!
In one of the stairwells.
This is the inside of Fort Point. As you can tell it is right underneath the bridge.
One of the cannons inside the fort.
We walked a little ways across the Golden Gate Bridge. I couldn't believe how busy it was on a Monday.

This is a picture of the cable at the beginning of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's amazing how big the cables are that hold up that bridge.
This is at the Exploratorium. They were re-doing the grounds so we really didn't get to walk around it. Just the view from the street.
This was at the Golden Gate Park. We drove around the park but didn't get out of the car. We were so tired of the San Fran traffic, that we just wanted to go back to the hotel and take a nap. The GPS thing on my phone took us on crazy routes through the city. It really irritated me by the end.
I was pretty excited to go to the A's-Red Sox game. This has been the highlight of the trip for me so far. It felt great to be back in that stadium.
We had great seats, row 16 between home plate and the 3rd base dugout.
This is me, Scott, and Tyler. Tyler was my best friend growing up here in the Bay Area. We used to go to the games all the time. It was fun to meet up with him and catch up. We hadn't see each other for a long time. We had an extra ticket to the game and Scott was out here for the summer for an internship. It was fun to have him come to the game with us as well.
Jackie loved the banjo playing guy in the A's cape. He walked around the stadium all game playing his banjo.
Pictures of the game.
Here is David Ortiz, my favorite Dominican ball player.
Here is Jackie and I. The game went by so fast that we couldn't believe it was over. The A's ended up losing 2-1, but it was still a great game and fun to be back there.

Another fun post. We sure did have some fun times and learned to love those A's. It was good to see Tyler and such a surprise to see Scott. The coldest July I ever spent was in good ole SF. Drive safe.
