The Bay Area and Baseball






We decided to take a four-day trip to the Bay Area with the main purpose to watch our nephew, Parker Berberet, play baseball on his Oregon State team against Stanford in Palo Alto.  We took off on a Wednesday morning and were checked in at the Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf by noon.  We spent the next day and a half enjoying San Francisco.  Activities included eating seafood at the wharf, riding the cable cars into the city, dining at the Buena Vista, visiting the Coit, walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, and thoroughly enjoying ourselves.  We spent Friday and Saturday at Palo Alto staying across the street from Stanford at the Palo Alto Westin.  Rich and Peggy joined us for the day on Friday, watching Oregon State outlast Stanford 1-0.  On Saturday, Oregon State emerged with another win as Parker tripled and played stellar catcher.  Highlights of the stay included dining on University Street, touring the university including the Rodin display in the art museum, and joining Parker and his family for after game Pizza on Friday night.
