The Biggest Giants Fan Ever

We're "over the moon" here in San Francisco! Our beloved Giants won the World Series last night! And did the City ever go crazy!

There will be a parade tomorrow and I'm sure all kinds of celebrations.

But no one is celebrating more than this man. He has been a Giants fan ever since his father took him to see a game in the late 50's, after the team first came to San Francisco. The Giants have been breaking his heart ever since! They call it "torture" here. Well my friend Lou, they finally did it! It only took 56 years!

Who knew at the beginning of the season that a bunch of "cast-offs," and rookies, along with incredible talented pitchers would form a team with so much heart that they would go on to win the World Series! They call it Destiny!

Congratulations Giants!

Congratulations San Francisco!

Blue Angels In San Francisco!

The Blue Angels were in town this weekend for Fleet Week in San Francisco. As we were trying to get over the Golden Gate Bridge Sunday afternoon, they were flying over and performing their stunts on the Bay.

What a thrill to look up and see them flying over!

Flying over Alcatraz Island.

These photos were taken by a professional photographer for the Chronicle, but I attempted to capture the excitement below with my Canon Rebel and telephoto lens.

Keep in mind, I took these photos in a moving car!

I just clicked away and hoped a few photos turned out.

It's so cool to see all the ships and sailboats on the Bay.

Looking west, the sun's reflection on the Pacific Ocean was blinding.

It was one of those rare days in San Francisco. The temperature on the bridge read 75 degrees.

It's usually 58! We had the Giants game on the radio and the Blue Angels overhead!

We got home just in time to see our beloved San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves!

It was all good on 10-10-10!

I'm linking up to Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday.

Just for fun, check out the video below. It really captures the exciting Blue Angels air show over San Francisco Bay.
