Living the Life: Our Football Road Trip!!

After a LONG summer we were in desperate need for a vacation and so my husband suggested we go to the San Jose Utah game and then drive up the coast on Highway 1 and go to the Oregan vs Utah game the following Saturday. I have wanted to drive the coastal highway for a long time so I was in and of course Brad went for the Football games. Even though it ended up being very much a BOYS trip...we went to a Giants Baseball game and a NFL Monday Night Football game...details to come...it still was a lot of fun and I love Northern California!! Brad's brother Monty came..of course for the Football games...but he helped a lot with the kids and expenses...Thank Monty!

We did a lot on this trip and since there are A LOT of pictures I think I will do several blogs to post it all. The first stop was San Fransisco and luckily the UTES won. I didn't go to the game, stayed in the hotel with the kids. But we spent the next day in San Fran...what a great city!

It was Sunday so we decided to hit the beautiful Oakland temple. The kids loved it and and there was also a gorgeous view of San Fran!

Of course the highlight of San Fran was seeing the Golden Gate Bridge. Since Brad was little he has always loved that Bridge and had been telling the kids about it for weeks! They were excited to finally see it.

This is Monty, Brad's brother who for some crazy reason LOVES baseball...we aren't big fans. He had never seen the Giants play at AT&T park and I told him if he pays we will go so he found way cheap tickets after the game had started...because seriously people who can last a whole baseball game and we went. It was actually a beautiful stadium looking over the water. And so yes Monty is slowly brain washing our children to like baseball.

The best part was after the game all chidlren 12 and under got to run the bases and of course Monty had to help them and so we went down on the field and ran. It was pretty cool!
