Okay, so we just got back from a vacation, and some of it was great, and some of it not so much. I decided to break it into parts so I could properly explain why our trip kind of stunk...
First we got on the road kind of LATE. We left our house about 4:30, and headed out. Said our prayer for the road, got headphones plugged in, movies on, etc. Earlier that day we got an oil change, and they suggested we change our serpentine belt (for $75 of course, even though we had a spare belt in the car). Fred said he would do it in 5 minutes if we wanted to stop by his shop on the way. So we did. Only, we did not know this, the belt we had (that was in the car) was the wrong size. So it took closer to three hours to get on, because it took that long to figure out that it was the wrong size. We got in to Vegas at about 2 in the morning, and we were so tired, but we were also dealing with kids who had slept several hours in the car and were HYPER!
The next morning was great because the kids got to go play at the pool and Brett let me sleep in. I made some lunch, and we headed out of Anaheim. Anaheim was pretty fun. We got in about 4:30, and relaxed for a little bit before taking a cab over to Angel's stadium for the game. We wanted to go early for batting practice and stuff.
If you look, my camera did not do justice to how close we were to CC Sabathia, and Nick Swisher, etc. We were 4 rows up, field seats. Loved them!
I wore my Yankee's shirt, but Brett did not come prepared, which surprised me! A Yankee game was on his bucket list, so I figured he would wear his jacket and hat! Nope! And we needed jackets, it was FREEZING!
Look it is Nick Swisher! He was so nice, we would yell his name, and he would totally turn around and wave. It was awesome! I loved seeing Derek Jeter (Derrick's name sake), and A-Rod (Lexi's namesake) for real!
The Yankees lost the game we went to, and won the other 2 when they played the Angels. Jorge Posada hit a great double during our game, and the guy sitting right next to us got the ball. I asked him if I could get a pic for the blog. He thought it was pretty funny!
There were two guys behind us that have been friends for like 30 years, one is a big Angel's fan and the other a huge Yankee fan, so it was really fun to listen to them. The people in our area were a lot of fun. We had the old guys take our picture, this was at the end of the game, and we were so cold. haha
That was our Yankee game experience. Karla stayed with the kids in the condo, and did a great job with them. It is so nice to have a great sitter so we could rest assured that everything was good with the kids while we went and played.
If only we knew what would happen the next day... duhm duhm duhm...
