San Francisco



Joe and I flew down to San Francisco last weekend. We got it in time on Friday night to check into our hotel and make it to Joe's Crab Shack. It was a pretty fun place with the bibs, dancing waiters, and a big seafood pot. The food wasn't perfect but we had a good time.
Saturday morning we got on the first ferry to Alcatraz. We enjoyed the audio tour and got back in time to have clam chowder in bread bowls at Fisherman's Wharf. We then went to the DeYoung museum and saw the Post Impressionist exhibit on loan from the D'Orsay museum in Paris. We saw a lot of famous paintings that you usually have to go to Europe to see. But we got pretty worn out and just went back to the hotel to crash for a bit. After relaxing we took a walk down Union street to go get some Pizza. It was a crazy night because all the bars were full with Giant fans watching the World Series and a lot of people were in costume because it was the night before Halloween.
Sunday morning we went to the Seahawks vs Raiders game. I wore my Seahawks jersey but I couldn't get Joe to wear any seahawks stuff because so many people warned him that he would get beat up. The crazy raider fans teased us a bit but we were never scared. There was only 35,000 people at the game and it was a little dissappointing in how lame the crowd was. The game was awful and the Seahawks got destroyed. After the game we went straight to the airport. Great trip even though the game was tough.
