It was a HIT...

Literally.

We had such a fabu time in SF for the Stitch'nPitch. We got to meet the SF Chicks With Sticks and see Mr. Bonds hit # 722 followed by two more homers.

way cool.
got a bit of knitting done- There was so much going on, beer to sip, dogs to eat, game to watch.

The girls and I had a really good day just wandering around the city. It was warm down there for the locals, but we were in heaven since it has been in the 100s on our side of the "hill".
Van Ness
We chatted and laughed and shared beers.
Then it was into the stadium. I felt like a little kid once we made it in- guess who hasn't been to a ball game in a very long time. I just love the excitement and energy that is happening when such a huge group of people get together for the same reason.DSC03210
Thanks to the owner of Noe Knits for snapping this shot for us! Sorry we didn't make it to the store, we wanted to get over the hill before all the nutty Tahoe visitors trapped us in hours of traffic!
Today we had breakfast at The Buena Vista and then packed up the car to head back over the hill. It was a short trip, but sometimes that is the best kind to make when you go to SF.

oh and just because it is FRIDAY- here is a photobooth treat- This one goes out to Becky just because of where it was taken-Eureka, CA mall -
Taya Boobie and Me
It dates way back to 1996- good god we were just babies. Taya and I are still extremely good friends and Boob (affectionately known as) I see around town every now and then. Look at my nose piercing (ahh I miss it, I think I should get it again) and my chub-chub face) hee hee

Ah, too cute Nessie! That photobooth is no longer in the mall. How cool that you were here. :)

Your ballgame looks like a super fun event. And you'll need those earmuffs over there where you live!

What a fun post! I spent much of my youth in Reno and Fallon and lived in SF for 10 years so this post brought me back, esp. seeing the ball park and also,the Buena Vista.
Thank you for visiting my blog, I'll definitely be back!

Looks like it was a great day! It got hotter - it was pushing 100 in Marin yesterday (more today). That kooky global warming...

Great photobooth shot - I long for my old collection that I think really is gone forever.

Keep cool over the 'hill' :)
