Trip Photos

I have been meaning to post a few photos of my trip to Atlanta since I got back, but just haven't gotten around to it.  Most of the pictures that I took are really only meaningful to a lifelong Braves fan, but I thought that the following can give some insight into the trip.

This picture shows the amazing seats that my wife was able to get us to the Friday night game.  It was incredible.  The girl bending over facing the wrong direction was our section's waitress.  The Braves won this game with Chipper Jones hitting two HRs.

These are the seats that we had for Saturday's day game.  When we left for Atlanta, we only had tickets for Friday's game.  We ended up taking a taxi to a restaurant to get something to eat on Thursday night and the cabbie was a big-time Braves fan.  Anyway, we got to talking about the Braves and my wife told him that I had never been to Atlanta before and that going to see a game was the reason for our trip.  The cabbie said that he has season tickets and that he had to work Saturday and offered us his tickets since I am such a big fan.  Of course, we accepted.  Then the cabbie wouldn't take any money for the tickets.  Amazing.  These seats are great for a day game.  We were out of the sun through most of the game and the air circulates very well through this portion of the stadium.  It almost felt air conditioned.  Anyway, Braves won again and we had a blast.

Final picture.  This was the wife and I after the Sunday game.  She isn't a sports fan and will likely never wear that shirt again, but she may wear the visor while doing some yardwork.  LOL.  I, on the other hand, will completely wear out the gear that I bought on this trip. 

Only downside to any of this is that we will have to take a trip to one of the wife's places next year (it will have to have great shopping since the unexpected Saturday tickets essentially eliminated her chance to do some serious Atlanta shopping).  After that, all of our family trips will be focused around the kid (who stayed with his grandparents for anyone that is wondering).
