We are leaving at the crack of dawn* tomorrow morning. This is not your normal sightseeing trip; it’s more of a baseball pilgrimage. My husband loves the Milwaukee Brewers, and they are having a great year. Unfortunately, since our move away from Chicago we are no longer a short 2-hour drive away from Milwaukee.
So we are traveling to San Diego to see the Brewers play on Saturday and Sunday, and then we are heading back to San Francisco on Sunday evening. Hopefully, we can squeeze some of the sights in… a whirlwind tour at the least!
I’m not really a baseball fan, but I definitely enjoy the atmosphere, people and food. Plus, Joel is really excited, so it should be fun. They are also playing three games in San Francisco in August… you know where we’ll be then.
We had the day off on Wednesday, and so we decided to go to Alcatraz. It was really interesting.
Alcatraz is swarming with birds. I’ve developed something of a bird phobia, as I seem to be a magnet for bird poop. I can normally be seen running for cover anytime there is a flock of birds flying overhead. Wouldn’t you know it? Right before we left, one got my jacket. Pretty soon, I won’t be able to bring myself to go outdoors anymore!
* I normally consider anytime before 6am “the crack of dawn”, and we need to catch a 7:30am flight, so I’m sure you can feel my pain.

There are Brewers fans out there? I lived in Milwaukee for a year, and I don't think I ever met a fan. We did make the pilgrimage from Madison once a year to see a game--but that was mostly prompted by a Cardinal-crazy friend who would want to go to see their games. :) Enjoy your trip, and good luck to the Brewers!
