A Day In The City


The city is only about 20 miles away but we never go as much as we want to. On the occasion that we have something to do in the city we try to clump all of them together to get the toll fee worth crossing the span.

And so on February 9, we did such a thing. The main purpose for coming to the city was the annual San Francisco Giants Fanfest. This would be our second time to go.

Others either bought or brought snacks and just soaked up the sun in the bleachers.

We walked around the park exploring nooks we don't normally get to see and take photos from that vantage point.
