take me out to the ball game

Herman and Chris came to visit. And that meant we had to go see some baseball of the spring training variety.

San Francisco Giants vs. the Seattle Mariners and San Francisco Giants vs. the Oakland Athletics.

I'll spare Giants fans (my dad, Herman, Chris) the gruesome details of both games and suffice it to say it was perfect weather for a relaxed game in the desert.

For the SF v Seattle game we had front row seats on the 3rd baseline. Lovely.

Yes. I'm wearing a fleece and jeans. Perfectly warm and toasty. With the sun on our backs and a slight breeze in front. And of course my Red Sox hat. Doesn't matter who's playing: must wear Red Sox hat.

SF vs Oakland. Lawn seats. It turns out it was more like a daytime frat party than a baseball game. Mr. Yin was able to join us for this one.

And sunglasses. Always sunglasses in AZ.

Despite the gallons of sunscreen we slathered on, I still managed to get a bit of a tan and lots of freckles.

(I think Chris has better pictures on his phone.)
