Hello San Fran!

This one time we thought about driving up to San Francisco for a Dodger Game at AT&T Park. Then we put it out of our minds and went back and forth on the whole thing. Then two days before the game, we bought tickets. We re-invited Scott and Carolyn, they booked a Marriott. The Underwoods vacuumed the car and filled the tank. And come Monday morning, we all piled in and we were good to go!! 
The hotel was A-mazing. Right in the heart of downtown and only a few blocks from the stadium. Excitement filled the room as we started mapping out our adventures!! Graham is in such a map fascination stage...
The big boys went to batting practice and came back with 3 baseballs!! Trip.made.

The Kershaw obsession continues. Thank you Clayte for claiming to eat a turkey sandwich before every game. We now have a sub lover.

This one tried to jump on board the turkey train but still can't kick the picky stage. Good thing he's cute. 

The game was so fun. I mean, it didn't end joyfully...but we were still glad we went. 

The next morning we hit the streets! Graham and Bennett lead the way...skipping and hollering down every block.

Sooooo, we may have accidentally got on the RIGHT train going the WRONG direction. Woops. Oh well...It was a lovely tour of the city.

Little Bink in the big city. Ain't no thang. 
(Speaking of thang: currently winding a toy a stranger gave him on the wharf. He calls it Buzz Lightyear. Actually it's a fat mummy. Bah!)
After 24 hours in San Francisco and trying to pose for smiling family pictures at the Dodger game, on Pier 39, watching seals, and staring across the bay... We learned we should just ride the F Train and the escalator. The joy was genuine and contagious.
Our 2 day trip was such a tease and left us wanting more. More family adventures. More eyes full of wonder. 
We just want these boys to realize the world is so much bigger then just Roehampton Avenue. 
That people need the Lord's love and grace from Dodger Stadium to AT&T park. And beyond. 

We'll be back, San Fran.
