SF Giants Opening Day - AT&T Park - San Francisco, CA - 4.8.14

 Well as you may of noticed, Laura and I have moved on to our next city. In mid-March we said goodbye to LA and headed north to the Bay Area. Since we arrived, we have just settled into our new area in Redwood City. Being big baseball fans, we could not pass up a chance to see Opening Day in our third different ballpark. AT&T Park in San Fran is one of our favorites. With its panoramic views of the bay and great fan-experience the club gives you, we knew we had to be there for the first game of the 2014 season. This place is special to us because it is where we spent our first anniversary back in 2011. Blue skies and 75 degree sunny weather made for another memorable Opening Day!!

BCS National Championship - January 6, 2014 - Rose Bowl - Pasadena, CA

I know I have said it before, but sometimes the best moments in life are the ones you really never plan for. On the morning of the final BCS National Championship, I woke up and assumed it would be a normal day that would end with me on the couch watching the big game. That is NOT how the day went. After reading a story that morning about how tickets to the game were selling for less than the face value of $325, I decided to look and see what a pair of tickets might cost us. I was surprised to find out that for $550 I could get both Laura and I into the game. Now, I know that isn't exactly a "cheap" price, but considering that it was being played in our current home town, it seemed like a no-brainer. I mean it is the National Championship, right?

Well, it ended up being a magical night. Although the team we were cheering for ended up losing, it was one of the best football games I have ever seen. I don't think I have ever been in a stadium where there was so much energy from the fans. You could just feel it all around and since it came down to the very last play, the nervous energy just pulsated through the crowd. Wow! What a night!!
