Last weekend Colt came into town for his first Raider game against the San Diego Chargers. He flew in on Saturday morning and we went over the San Francisco for the day. While we were over there it was Fleet Week for the Navy, so we walked up and down the pier. There were so many people there and I think we walked a total of 10 miles the whole day. That morning there was a Navy ship parade but we missed that but there were still a few ships out on the water that eventually docked at the pier. We got lucky and got a free showing of the Blue Angels. I've never seen the Blue Angels so it was really neat to see them and not to mention that they were extremely loud. They were flying really low and I guess San Francisco is the only place that allows the Angels to fly that low. We then walked down to Fisherman's Wharf and then up to Ghiradelli Square for some chocolate. Colt had never had it before so he got a bar and that night he ate the whole thing.After we got back from San Francisco we had to go to Kohl's to get Colt a Raider jersey for the game.
On Sunday, we took the BART to the Collesium instead of paying for parking. It was a perfect day to watch football, the sun was out with a slight breeze. We had pretty good seats as well that let us see the entire field. The first two series for the Chargers were blocked punts by the Raiders special team, one for a safety and one for a touchdown. The defense played great and it wasn't until the 3rd quarter that the Raider offense started to do anything but by that time the Chargers had gotten themselves back into the game.
It was a back and forth battle down to last 2 minutes of the game. After 7 years the Raiders finally broke their losing streak against the Chargers. After the game every Raider fan in the stadium was going crazy. AFter the game was over Colt and I went and had a nice steak dinner at Black Angus. It was really nice going to the game with Colt and seeing the Raiders win.
