1-4 FINALLY!

Yep that time of year again. Time to make our annual trip to Oakland.

We drove the full 11 hours on Friday so we could recover and enjoy ourselves before the festivities began on Saturday.

Saturday we had a few hours to kill so since Mitch has never been to San Fransisco we spent a few hours in the city. Seeing the main sights.

This picture of the Golden Gate is the only proof I have that we went to San Francisco.
Once back in Oakland we headed over to the Raider Image. Saw some current players.
Rookies Lamar Houston & Jacoby Ford.

Then we headed to Ricky's.

There we saw some players of the past.

Hanging out at Rickey's for a few hours

With friends. Mitch, Shane, Me, Felisa, and Manny.

Good Times.

Sunday morning tailgating started early.

Good food.

Ran with his famous woop woop juice.

Shane, Darren, Ran, and Me.

We know we are always welcomed when we are in town.

Getting one more beer in before game time.

2010 Oakland Raiders!

Lined up for a play.

The first quarter was a bit slow moving. Come half time the Raiders were down.

However put in a new quarterback. Things picked up and guess what?

Raiders WON!

Raiders 16 Rams 14

After the game you win it's time to head back out to the tailgate for a bit of celebrating.

This is my 5th trip to Oakland and my first win.

Boy does it feel good.

We made it home safe Monday after another 11 hour drive and one speeding ticket later.
Let's hope these Raiders will turn the losing streak over and start putting more wins on the board.

(I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the scoreboard showing they won.)
