The Bucket List

We have always wanted to complete our map of the US by visiting all fifty states.  Then we altered the list by saying that we wanted to go watch the Texas Rangers play baseball in all the different ballparks.
Andrew and Chelsea had heard us talking about this at some time.  So for Christmas this past year they gave us tickets to the Rangers games in Oakland and San Francisco on back-to-back nights in June.  Now this took some terrific investigation from our kids.  They wanted us to get the most bang for the bucks.  So with this gift, we could check off two ballparks on one trip.  Good thinking!

We flew out to San Francisco on a Wednesday and went to the games on Thursday and Friday.  We flew back on Sunday.  We actually stayed in Pacifica, CA.  We had a great time.  We went to the usual tourist spots: Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz (went around it by boat), Cable Cars, and Muir Woods (to see the Redwoods) and Nappa to the wine country.

This is our hotel in Pacifica.
