From a place that doesn't have bed bugs...


What a great day today was. It was nice to have a solid nights sleep in the luxurious Red Carpet Inn (where Aaron slept underneath the sheets, we slept in our sleeping bags, he felt the bed bugs!). We found out how truly awesome people have been to open up homes, cheep hotels will make you appreciate this! It was a 10 minute drive to the stadium which was really cool. We came from the Park that is waaaaaaay over-rated and ugly (Yankee), to a slick new ball-park that was really fan-friendly. We again had the nose bleeds but we saw some seats in left field and quickly sat there. (Coach Wilcoxson, I resent that remark! I didn't even see the ball until it was 2 feet from my face. If it wasn't for my Jedi quick reflexes I would have a broken nose.) The Philly fans have a reputation for being jerks, but for the most part they where great. But in the middle of the 7th inning with about 13 open seats around us, this dude with his girl walks up to me in the middle of the 7th inning stretch and tells me that we are sitting in his seats. He had to walk past about 10 open seats to move us...it took everything in me not to sock the guy in the face. So we moved down 4 seats because there was a million open in that row.
We love every one's comments...we encourage everyone to leave them! It is crazy that we only have 4 parks left, this truly has been a trip of a lifetime.

P.S. To that anonymous poster, I'm growing a beard.

Sorry Weaver. That's what you get for not posting in what seems like an eternity. ;)

I love this picture of the group. Your photographer did a nice job.

Looks like you arrive at the games early. Batting practice must be fun to see. Glad you kept your cool over the seats.

p.s. Those sandwiches look so much better than....pop tarts.
