Baseball. America’s favorite pastime. Nothing beats sitting in your favorite ballpark, watching your favorite team on sunny day, with a hot dog smothered with all the goods in one hand and an ice cold beer in the other. This scene is symbolic to American culture. We did this today, except there was no beer.

Today was Hello Kitty day at the SF Giants game. This is our 3rd year attending this promotion day. This year, they gave away a hello kitty hat to the first 20,000 fans, and a hello kitty backpack if you had a special event ticket (which we did of course!)

We wore our hello kitty gear!

And we all got hats!

Group photo after the game. Oh yea, the Chiu cousins were there too!

After the game, we had dinner at Pearl’s Deluxe burgers. I had read somewhere that it was ranked the #7 best burger place in the nation. So we went to try it. While it was good, I’m skeptical that it’s #7.

When the baseball game ended, all kids were invited down to the field to “run the bases” so we went and the kids ran the bases. It was cool to be able to stand on the baseball field. A first for us!
