Whew. What a weekend.
So, my wife is a lifelong 49ers fan (born and raised in Yreka), but had never been to a live game... so for christmas I took her down to her first ever NFL game... we left Portland Friday just before noon. Because of weather, we decided to take 101 all the sway down (and as it turns out, all the way back as well!). That first night we stopped for the night in Crescent City... a glass of wine at the beach is always good...
Went to Santa Clara the next day taking the scenic route through SF...
The hotel in Santa Clara really took care of us... free cocktails from 5:30-7:30... breakfast included an omelet station... The game day was a lot of fun. The 49ers honored their 81 and 88 championship teams which meant that Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and Ronnie Lott were on hand... really cool for her to be there for that as her first game!
Then... Some wine after the game....
Today. Yikes.... I forgot to take my computer and have an article to write... so I drove straight through... all the way up 101 to Florence before cutting over to I-5. All told I drove 765 miles today... averaged 55 mph the whole way (my car gives great statistics!).
A certain dog was pretty happy to see us... even if he did track mud everywhere while we were gone!
The 49ers suck this year, but they made a game of it at the end...
Now, a couple of days to relax before heading over to the coast for Christmas!
And, the best part of the weekend for me, Safeway had a Club price on a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label... $70 off! Needless to say, I got this as my gift:
