I left my heart...

Just getting back from three GLORIOUS days in San Francisco with my cousin, Robin!
As soon as we arrived, we started checking out the local sites....Ghirardelli...
...Fisherman's Wharf...
....and the unbelievable hills that you have to climb to get everywhere!We were blessed to find a Trader Joe's as we walked the streets of San Francisco
and stopped to purchase a little wine...We enjoyed it from the comfort of our fabulous hotel room...
...as we watched the Dodgers beat the Giants on the amazing HD TV in the room!Room service paid us a visit on Tuesday morning...
(Brioche French Toast...unbelievable!)Later in the day, we geared ourselves up to go to the Dodgers/Giants game and met Robin's sister, Kelly for dinner. We did take a bit of flack as we walked over to the stadium...most people just yelled, "Go Giants" and "Dodgers Suck" at us. I have to admit, it was pretty fun.
And that stadium is AWESOME! We were there in time to watch the Dodgers' Batting Practice...
...and have a couple of delicious "Beat LA" beers. (Sorry Giants' fans...no matter how many cups you have made up, you're still 6.5 games back...)
I just asked this guy if I could take a picture with him...
Such a loyal Giants fan! My sister, Debra and our life-long friend, Todd, joined in the fun as we watched the Dodgers POUND the Giants 9-1. I had more fun 'bantering' with the Giants fans than anything else!
SUCH a great night!
Spent most of today walking the city with Graham and Debra...
And making my way back to reality...
