Spriiiiiing Break

First on the list: San Francisco to visit Emily and Nick. On Saturday, Emily had to take a teacher test, so Nick and I explored the city. This is the view from Coit Tower.

On our city adventure, we visited the St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival. I was disappointed by the lack of marching bands in the parade. However, this "drunk pen" kept me entertained. To buy beer and drink it there, you were supposed to stand inside these fences. That didn't stop most people, though. Don't worry.

On Sunday, we decided to take a little road trip about an hour south to Santa Cruz. It was beautiful in every possible way. This is just before I touched the Pacific!! I don't have any pictures where I don't look like a complete dork, so please forgive my ridiculous expression.

There was even a real, live Boardwalk! I didn't know these things existed. I wanted to ride this ferris wheel, but we ended up riding a really fun roller coaster instead.

Because she's the best hostess ever, Emily took a personal day on Monday. First thing, she drove me down (past Candlestick Park) to AT&T Park where the Giants play. She doesn't know the first thing about the Giants, but I taught her! This picture is me trying to grab the hand of Willie Mays. Thank you to Emily for the fabulous photography from my most flattering angle.
I left the Bay Area really, really (really) early the next morning. It was still dark when we took off, but the sun started rising just as we were crossing over the Rockies. Amazing? I think so.

Hopefully I will be able to post some info from the rest of my trip tomorrow! This was seriously the bestspringbreakever.

Opening Day: 10 DAYS
