Birthday Surprise

Surprise Chico!!

This year I wanted to do something super special for my chico's birthday.  My hubby is always doing such nice and wonderful things for me and I wanted to show my appreciation in a big way.  For the past 4 years Pete has talked about wanting to go to an Oakland A's game in Oakland, CA.  We've seen them play against the Texas Rangers but that was in Texas.  Sooooo.....

With a whole lotta sneaky, careful plotting I made it happen.  I made all the arrangements, some with a little help from friends and family and it was off to Oakland, CA on his birthday.  Boy, was he surprised!!

Gameday was on Saturday, Aug 3.  Happily, the A's won that game against...yes, unfortunately they were playing the Rangers again ( I was hoping for any other team, only because we'd already seen them play together).  The weather was beautiful and the seats were great.

Not only did we get to watch the baseball game, we did some sightseeing all around San Francisco.  What an amazing city.  I'd passed through there before but never experienced it quite like this before.  I fell in love with that City by the Bay.

On our drive back to Vegas we decided to take the long drive along Hwy 101.  It added a few more hours but it was well worth it.  What a great weekend we had, I'll never forget it.
