Braves vs Detroit, March 26, 2010

 

Rod was able to get some discount lawn tickets for the Braves Spring Training game out at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports.  We love coming out to this nice little stadium to watch games.  This one was on the most perfect day of the year so far.  Perfect temperature, perfect weather!
 

We got there early, but, not early enough to field any balls.  We were one of the first to spread our blanket out in the left field berm.  We were soon joined by a few other blankets filled with spring breakers, a very nice looking kid with an awesome broad back (nice eye candy) and then two families each with a baby just starting to get his sea legs.  (The Little Guy above rolled down the hill into the kid with the wifebeater shirt on...LOL...the kid said he made a good backstop!)  One of the kids had a Brave's shirt, the other with a Tigers shirt...hmmm.


The game was fun!  We have pretty much decided to take advantage of the $25 event tent for food and beer next time.  Before we even hit the outfield we had spent $19 on two beers and a bag of peanuts!  LOL  By the time the game hit the last inning, we had spent well over $50 on food and drink.  The event tent had unlimited water, sodas, peanuts, hotdogs, burgers, etc and $3 beer--not fine dining by any means.  But if you are going to buy a hotdog and peanuts and have drinks, you might as well go for the unlimited deal.

What didn't turn out to be so great was forgetting that now we are outside again--to put on the sunscreen.  Other than what was in my facial moisturizer--I totally forgot to put my 30 SPF Sport sunscreen.  So, the left/front side of my body was rock lobster red.  Bummer.  I am writing this five days later and I am still red.  I am sure I will start peeling anyday now.  DOH--don't forget yours, ok?!
