Garlic fries, hot dogs, mustard, beer (though I never drink the stuff, blech!) Has anyone thought of bottling it yet?

Eau De Baseball anyone?

I was breathing deep as we sat in on our first Giants game of the season! Oh how I love the sights and smells.

The SF Giants faced the LA Dodgers. Beat LA!

(Note to self: Do not bring kids to Giants vs. Dodgers games! Way too intense! The fans are a lot louder and the language much more foul than we experience when the Giants face other teams.)

The 6:05 game was also a tribute to the “forever Giants”. Former Giants, the likes of Willy Mays and Barry Bonds were there saying thanks to fans for the years of support.

Bonds did take the opportunity to say he is not retired. In case we didn’t know or something.

Mike and I got a night away, just the two of us. After the game, we stayed over at the Marriot Courtyard South – about a mile and a brisk walk from the stadium.

Bonus! We were bumped to an even nicer room on the 18^th floor.

We stayed in the following morning, ordered room service and watched the Olympics until it was time to leave for the 1:05 game.

What more could we ask for? The Giants won both games!

Minus the nasty sunburn I got, it couldn't have been any better.

PS: Thanks Mom for hanging with the kids! Love you!
