S.F. Giants...vacation take 3

Next stop on my California vacation adventure was San Francisco. I happily accepted an offer to hitch a ride up with my mom and step dad and they arranged for me to hitch a ride back to San Luis Obispo with some of their friends to their house where I had parked my car. It worked out great.
On our way up, I received a call from my friend Frances who was staying with my puppies for the 5 days I was gone. Somehow, Daisy managed to break off the leash and was running the complex! Trying to stay calm, we tried to think of what to do. Daisy had already taken off out of sight and I didn't have much to offer as far as suggestions on how to find her. After making some phone calls to nearby friends, (who were all unavailable to help out) I called her to discuss the next strategic step and Frances had found one of the construction guys with Daisy. The construction guys are there everyday (on a year long project in my complex) and see me take the pups for their walks and say hi and sometimes stop and try to chat. I should have known they could help out. They said they saw Daisy run past them and tried to call her and chase her but she ran off. And guess where she ran? HOME! You know your dog has a good life when she gets off the leash and just goes straight home. Poor thing. She was probably just as freaked out as poor Frances. Dang dogs. Crisis averted.
When we arrived to S.F. my mom and Taylor and I went Geocashing real quick. I deposited the coin I found in the last stash about .5 miles from my moms house. We enjoyed a good walk around Pacific Heights and found this awesome robot on a house. Yes. You read that correctly. We thought it would be fun to take a picture of us doing the robot in front of the robot. Later friends on facebook kindly pointed out the very "blessed" southern region of the robot. Seriously!!!!

 Before dropping the coin in the next stash we completed its goal by taking pictures of it near a plaque. 

 This is the view from the stash we dropped it in.


My brother, Erika and baby were there waiting for us when we returned and we enjoyed each others company and some bomb Chinese food before calling it a night. The next day was the SF Giants game against the Indians! Yea!!!!!
On our way to the game, I captured this video as we celebrated Gay Pride Weekend! LOL!




Giants Stadium. It was Aubrey Huff (1st baseman) bobble head day and I had to walk like 10 blocks in my cute wedge sandals but it was worth it.









Friends Vasi, Christine and Brad


Here he comes to close...WILSON!
Brian Wilson Pitching

YAY! We won! Even though it was on a Bach call. haha oh well! A win is a win!



Leslie and Drew

We spent the rest of the evening at David and Vasi's (David is fishing in Alaska and wasn't there)....And then the fun really begins....






Yeah.
Even her profile shadow is adorable.

I got a few peeps together to go Geocashing nearby Vasi and David's. Andrew found the first one and was totally hooked!


I found the second one. Both were soooo small so we set out to find a bigger one....
But we ended up not finding it because we went right on a trail and we should've gone farther left. Oh well. We enjoyed the views...
