Shopping & The SF Giants
Written by Harrison Hill
Posted Sun, 21 Jan: 10th July 2016 - So yesterday we ventured into the city for a full days shopping and to see our First Baseball game at the AT&T Stadium.
The morning started out with everyone one hopping into two different shuttles that took us to the train station, but by so miscommunication both shuttles ended up at two different train stations neither knowing where the other one was until my shuttle missed the train into the city. So we took the shuttle into the city and actually ended up arriving in the city before the others who actually got on the train.
After all that we all headed in to the huge shopping centre that is Westfield. It was the biggest mall I had ever been it was filled with multiple department stores ranging from fashion to house hold appliances to electronics but nothing really took my fancy. So I meet back up with the group for lunch in the food court of the mall and we all had Grilled Subs which were amazing.
After Lunch Myself, Toby, Luke and Andrew didn't feel like looking at the mall anymore so we headed out of the mall towards Union Square where we passed through towards the Nike store which had five different levels all for different sports. Just as we were leaving the store we bumped into Simon who had just been at the Apple Store across the road which non of us saw for some strange reason. So I ran over while Toby and Andrew closely followed. I will say that I did have a fan boy moment in front and in the store mainly because this store was only a couple of months old and it was the first official Apple Store that I had ever been in.
After about an hour of just playing around with all the cool Apple tech and talking to the Apple Geniuses I thought it wise not to spend my money at this Apple Store as I remembered that we would be visiting the MAIN CAMPUS in Cupertino in the following days ahead. So instead I ended up buying a new AT&T SIM card, Amazon Echo and a Tile and reconvened with the group back in the mall at 4pm.
It was now time to head to the ball game, So we walked in the wrong direction at first then did a U-turn in the right direction toward the AT&T Stadium which is the home of the one and only San Fransisco Giants. Along the way we Found a street that was named Harrison (We took pictures). We made our way into the stadium and found our seats which put us really close to the the players. Long story short it was amazing and I Know that I enjoyed the experience. We ended up leaving early because of time but when we left the Giants were up 4 and the crowd was going crazy. We climbed on to the train after waiting inline then sat down for the ride home.
We arrived back at the hotel quite late so I headed to bed.
Overall amazing day, Loved everything about it!!!
