I managed to spend twelve days in Chicago without taking a picture.  Then, the day after coming home from Chicago, Karri and I flew up to San Francisco to catch Game 1 of the World Series vs Texas.

We ended up having dinner here Tuesday night.  Couple bowls of clam chowder and one Dungeness crab we destroyed.

Walking around the Wharf that evening we came across this homeless dude.  Notice the bush and change cup behind the trash can.  He had two bushes in his hands that he hid behind and then would jump out at people walking by scaring them.  A group of us stood there and LOL'd for a while.  I stuck a $20 in his cup for creativity.

The next day was game day.  We decided that we would pub crawl our way down Embarcadero to the ticket guy's hotel and then on to AT&T Park.  Took us about 3 hours, stopped at 3 bars, and were seated inside the park 45 minutes before first pitch.

We were eight rows behind this Joe Montana guy.  I liked our seats.

The next day we had a nice day of chilling out down on Fisherman's Wharf, hanging on the beach watching the bay before the game, and then catching Game 2 inside Jack's Bar a block from Ghiradelli Square.  We toured an old WWII submarine.  Played old games in an old coin-op museum.  It was a good day.

Notice the squadron of Harriers circling the Bay preparing for their fly by over Game 2.
