Day 174: Play Ball! (Giants Edition)

*

It would not be a trip anywhere with Josh without making it to a baseball stadium.  This marked Michal's second stadium (30 28 to go, Josh tells me), and her first visit to AT&T Park.  Coincidentally, it was her second time "watching" the Giants play, so somehow she might be on her way to becoming a fan, even though I grew up an Oakland Athletics fan and Josh will unfortunately love the Orioles until the end of time.  We did not know ballparks gave out first visit certificates (thanks to my friend Katie who blogged about her daughter's first trip to see the Mariners), so we made sure to get one for the Goose.    

View from the bridge as we walked from the parking lot to the stadium.  Pretty park.

 

Walking around the stadium, we came upon this cable car.  At first we were prepared to walk past, until we realized that we would NEVER have the opportunity to pose with one.  Back we went.  How cute is that kid with her jeans!?

 View from our seats - not a bad seat in this park!

We were fortunate to watch three great players today - Tim Lincecum started for the Giants, Joe Mauer popped in at one point for an at bat, and Brian Wilson (AKA The Beard) closed out to ensure a Giants win.  Here is The Beard winding up.

Requisite picture of Daddy and baby - she looks thrilled.  

That's a "Can we GO, Dad?" look if I ever saw one.

One last shot, outside of the park.

* I endeavor to credit others when using their pictures for this blog - Josh took these two great shots!
