San Francisco

Not being a morning person, 5:30am is ugly! Michael's alarm went off at that time. Seems Madeline's did too! Maybe she was just excited about the day. :) Most of us were feeling a tad under the weather (we have been battling some colds towards the end of the week).

We left home at 7:15 to head to San Francisco for a Dodgers/Giants baseball game at AT&T Park. Madeline traveled really well. We kept thinking she would go back to sleep because she had woken up so early. But nope! She started getting a little cranky about 3 hours into the drive. So we stopped at a grocery store & got out & stretched our legs. Bought some bananas & grapes. Madeline inhaled the banana & even ate some of the grapes.

About another hour in the car & we were in San Francisco looking for the parking lot next to Borders (that my brother Greg told me about). Found it & it was just across the street from AT&T park! Amazing! We loved how convenient it was.

I loved the ball park. It was really pretty-maybe it's all the brick. It is a fairly new ball park, opened in 2000.

We met the Griley's there. (Thanks to Kelly for ordering our tickets for us!) We had seats in left center field. The weather was really nice-warm with a light breeze. Maddie was starting to get restless, so we went & got some food. She ate a little, but was just really tired. (Remember, she got up at 5:30am & it was now around 2 or so.) So from about the 4th inning on, I put her in the stroller & we just walked around the ball park. The level we were on, you could go all the way around the park. I thought maybe she would go to sleep, but nope! She made it through the whole game. Towards the end, we went & stood up in front of the big glove sculpture (which you can see in one of the pictures). After the game, we snapped a few family shots & then she fell asleep. She slept until we got to the car-about 20 minutes. Then she was wide awake & in a good mood to boot!

We met the Grileys for dinner at Chilis in some town that was about an hour outside of San Fransisco. Stopped for gas in Salinas (it was $4.51-cheaper then MB) & got Maddie's jammies on. Not long after that, she was asleep, about 9:30. We got home about 10:45 & she went to bed without waking up!

She did wake up today about 7:30, went down for an early nap & then woke up very cranky. Seems she may have a touch of the flu. Running a fever & vomiting. Poor baby. The good side-she wanted me to hold her! I loved it, but felt so bad for her. She fell asleep on me about 8:15 & I put her to bed. Hoping she sleeps well tonight & feels 100% better tomorrow!
