Yesterday we were able to go to a Phillies Baseball Game!! I haven’t been to a professional baseball game since I was in sixth grade, maybe even younger and I forgot how much I love baseball. Kolb grew up playing so he was even more excited to go to the game. To start out our adventure we all jumped in the car and headed downtown around 5 but didn’t end up getting to the game until after 7. Downtown Philly is only about 30 min away but traffic was CRAZY! It’s always crazy!!! I don’t know what it is about Philadelphia but I don’t think there is a time of day where there is no traffic!! I am defiantly a west coast girl when it comes to that.. I miss the friendly wave people give as you let them in, people that don’t honk their horn every two min, understanding where to go while driving, etc. Just before we left to go to the game my loving husband told me to grab a jacket just in case it rains… because it always does here... I listened of course like a good wife but then when we got to the game it was so hot and humid that I thought there was no way it would rain and I didn’t want to get stuck carrying a jacket so I left it in the car, and talked him into leaving his in the car. Well low and behold he was right. He seems to always be right.. haha because it POURED!!!!! It rained for a good 45 min maybe longer. It was funny because right when it started raining I knew I should have listened. They covered the field and we all waited and then eventually when the rain started to die down they continued on playing. We were all pretty sad about the rain until we were sitting 12 rows from first base. So many people left because of the rain that we were able to move up seats, it was awesome! All in all we had a great time eating Philly cheese steaks, getting rained on, being with friends.. I just want to thank my husband for working so hard so that we could go to the game, and thanks to Danny and Ryan for getting the tickets! We had a blast!!
This is us before the game! Wearing Phillies red!!
