Day Five

Three World Series Giants Championships. What?! It still blows my mind, that in the five years I have lived here, the five baseball seasons that I have seen, that the SF Giants have taken home the pennant three times! While still a self-proclaimed New York Yankees fan, it has been a pleasure to root for the "home" team here in San Francisco. AT&T Park is beautiful and the stadium food and beverage are unparalleled. I will always remember where I was for each of the winning plays; Old Navy Flagship closing up shop, the Bus Stop bar on Union, and Greens on Polk.  I have always been a been a fan of America's national pastime, and these years in SF have been the most exciting yet. 

Day Four

Napa Valley. Before I moved to the Bay Area the wine I drank was just cheap grape juice. I am honestly proud of the wine snob that I have become, and all of the "fun facts" I have learned about wine over the past five years. I vividly remember the my first Napa wine tasting experience, and being blown away by how close wine country was to the city. In my time here I have visited 25 different wineries; that I can remember. Two seasons I have even picked the fruit off of the vine to aid some friends as they start their own wine label. I have gained such an appreciation for a great glass of wine, and an even greater appreciation for sharing wine with friends and family. I know my love of wine will last a lifetime, so Napa Valley, this isn't goodbye, I will see you again soon. 

Day Three

Lake Tahoe. If you know me, you must know that this is my most favorite place on earth. There is something so magical about this lake, I have trouble putting it to words. At the lake my mind is as clear as the water and I am truly content. I am so grateful for the chance to have lived so close to Lake Tahoe, and to have visited her shores with several of my very best friends. Some say, or sing, that they have left their heart in San Francisco. For me, my heart will always be at Lake Tahoe.
