★ Photo Post – Three Days in San Francisco, May ’11

In March, I purchased tickets to a San Francisco Giants game and redeemed a Virgin America credit for a flight. The goal of this trip was to see a few friends, enjoy some burritos and the California sun while taking a well-needed four day weekend and seeing my favorite baseball team crush the competition. The Colorado Rockies were #1 in the National League West and, after the game I attended, the Giants tied them for 1st place and that tie remains. I’m happy to have gone to that game and see it happen.

San Francisco was fantastic. I’m on the fence about SF as a city. Of course, I always have a great time with friends but I’m still not really into SF with any yearning to live there. I love my life out in the country even if I don’t get to go to concerts or movies anymore. I’m fine with that. San Francisco is just too much. I need something in the middle. It’s something I may write about in the future. For now, here are a few photos:
