Giants Baseball

Jack and I enjoyed great seats on the first row of the third base line at a recent San Francisco Giants game.  He even scored a ball tossed to him prior to the game from one of the Giants!  To top it all off the Giants won!

Jack and his ball!

The Giants want to claim the best record in baseball (42-21).   We'll see if they can keep it going...it's still early.

Jack and Dad Take a Trip!

Jack and I had our "trip of firsts" that included his first major league baseball game where we saw the Giants come back to beat the Rockies.   Jack had fun at the game as the Giants do a great job of making the park kid friendly with cable cars, slides and other play areas.

We even watched a little baseball!

We then end to Nebraska (via Kansas City :( ) and got some good cousin time in while also catching Jack's first college football game! Sadly a UCLA victory that left the Husker faithful somewhat up in arms

.

The game wasn't the typical "sea of red" as Nebraska had designated new black uniforms be worn and fans were asked to follow suit. That, of course, was a boon to the t-shirt shops!

Jack enjoys a Giants Dog!

Here are a few stray shots from the trip

After the baseball game, we went to Fort Mason in San Francisco which offers some great views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate! We even discovered something even more rare...free parking!


The new basketball arena which has sparked a whole new area of development in Lincoln. We found stumbled across a great ice cream place in the hay-market!

 

Here we are in our Wal-Mart attire as the luggage still hadn't arrived from Omaha.

 

Whoa! Jack!!!  The train is coming.
