Well, I finally accomplished the short-term goal of going to Candlestick Park, home of my darling 49ers. I accomplished at this goal a little differently than I'd hoped; I found myself at the stadium not for a game, but for The Color Run, a low-intensive, uniquely-designed 5k.
At the conclusion of the run, a large crowed gathered around the exterior of the stadium to celebrate with colored powder, a DJ, and a plethora of free beverages.
My friend and I used this opportunity to people-watch and take an assortment of pictures of us covered head-to-toe in said colored powder.
But I also jumped at the chance to explore the periphery of the stadium, camera in tow:
I refuse to move away from San Francisco without attending a game at this stadium, so a return to Candlestick will be happening again. Someday.
Also, for those unfamiliar with the Harbaugh-ism referenced in the post's title, check out the product inspired by his words.
A San Francisco bachelorette weekend included a stop at Bi-Rite Creamery, located near Dolores Park.
The ice cream shop and bakery boasts a menu of ice cream, soft serve, and baked goods, all of which are homemade and with organic ingredients.
Bi-Rite sits atop many lists naming it one of the best ice cream establishments in the country, and it has a local reputation to match. The line curled around the block, and we waited about a half hour to be served.
True to my boring form when it comes to sweets, I ordered a double scoop of chocolate and vanilla. My friends, however, happily experimented with some of the more unique flavors. All were well received, but the salted caramel, in particular, was a big hit.
Bottom line: I don't think it's the most incredible ice cream I've ever had, but I also don't adventure much when it comes to dessert. If you enjoy fun and distinctive flavors, it's certainly worth a visit—just make sure to bring a friend (or more) with whom you can combat what's sure to be a lengthy wait.
