Check out Bobby O'Shea's latest blog from the NCAA tournament in California.
Today was our day off and what great day it was.
After breakfast, Ricky and I decided to go into San
Francisco and see Fisherman's Wharf and Alcatraz.
Coach Riley said that his family did not get in on
Friday because the tours of Alcatraz were sold out.
When we arrived downtown, we went to Alcatraz first.
Well, Matt knew what he was talking about. It was
sold out until today. However, we were determined to
get to Alcatraz because we drove an hour to get there.
So, we stood around for a few minutes and a man came
up to the counter and said that his family would not
be able to go today, so we took his tickets!!
Alcatraz
was amazing. They have an audio tour that is narrated
by guards and cons. I highly recommend this tour if
you are anywhere near this area.
After the tour and
the ride back to the shore, we needed a drink. We
walked back to Fisherman's Wharf and had lunch and
drink at Hard Rock Cafe. After walking around the
wharf a little while, we headed back to the hotel so
we could watch the Tennessee women's game with the
coaching staff.
The game was good and afterwards we all decided
to go to Dave and Busters for dinner with Coach Insell
and the rest of the coaches. We were told beforehand that they could accommodate
our large group. When we got there, it was pretty
busy and they did not have space for us. While we
were sitting in the bar, I spied a room off to the
side that could accommodate our group. After speaking
to the manager, and using some Southern charm, she
decided to let us use that room and assigned us a
server. It was a great time.
After dinner, we took cabs back to the
hotel. Let me tell you, our driver was running the
Daytona 500. Our cab ride only cost 18.00 while the
other two cost 20.00.
We sat in the hotel for a while
and then some people headed out while I headed to the
room. It had been a long day, but a good one. I see
some "bad business" on the horizon!
