Watching the Philadelphia Phillies against the Washington Nationals the other night was such a treat in so many ways!
First, Kevin Sutera of Mortgage America gave away the tickets to the first person who emailed and said they'd like them. I wasn't first, but the person who was had a client emergency come up - so I was next in line :)
There were three tickets - so I invited two of my three daughters (the 3 yr old said she didn't want to go anyway). Here is a picture of us on the way to the game
I'd been to Citizens Bank Park before, and I love the patriotism that is so evident there
Not just the game was cool..... another part was the rescuing of Manti, the Praying Mantis. It was windy where we were (Mr. Mortgage guy doesn't know I'm a scaredy cat princess and the seats were high up - so I stood). Manti was having trouble.... so I thought.... until he got just where he wanted to be....
Watching the game!
That's not all!!! I got to see my friend, Bill Lublin, who was also at the game with some friends, family, and co-workers. Yep. That was the best part! I needed a real life hug from him! (We were talking when the Phillies won the game in the 9th inning! oops, Sorry Bill!)
I'm lucky that Philadelphia Sports are so close. From Chester County you can get to the pro-games in about 40 minutes. In a couple of weeks, I'll get to my first Eagle's game. I can't wait!!! For more things you can do if you move to the Chester County area, visit my West of Philly Burbs blog.
Thanks for the update on the Phillies game Kim. I hope you enjoy that first Eagles game.
Oh how cool you and Bill got to see each other again. Hope he is doing well, I heard updates on Twitter. Guess what no reponse from seesmic and still bombarded, I tried to just delete it but I can't.
