Nothing like making the rest of us envious! MMMM... We are in Shipshewana Indiana and let me tell you NOTHING is open... We took a hike to find food for dinner. We ate at an italian pizzera.. Not a big Italian fan but had cheese ravioli and split it with my dd5.. They gave me 6 and she ate 4 They weren't too bad. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Today was a beautiful day to be at the ball park! The sun was hot but the sky was pretty and the game was good.

Arriving at the park, all four presidents were out and greeting all the guests...
Here are George, Abe, Tom, and Teddy as they are called in the park.

Every time we are at the park we seem to end up at this one place to get fries, Ben's Chili Bowl and the fries are covered in chili, onions and cheese..... Yummy! read about Ben's here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben's_Chili_Bowl

After we eat we go find our seats...... Not a bad section at all, DH did good with the tickets.

So the game starts, and the top of the first does not start well, the Met's score 2 runs on a error that should have had the inning over with.

In the top of the 3rd inning the Mets score again... now 3 - 0. in the bottom of the 3rd, Espinosa scores for the Nats... now 3-1.

In the bottom of the 4th inning the pitcher walks two, and then Pudge Rodriguez doubles to score 2 runs now 3-3,

then Morse singles and brings in Pudge so now the score is 3-4 Nats... still only 1 out. now 2 out, Mench walks, Morgan singles and brings in Morse, now 3-5. Kennedy hit by pitch,(loads bases), Ryan Zimmerman walks,

and walks a run in now 3-6. inning over.

Bottom of the 5th inning Nationals score again to make the score 3-7.

Bottom of the 6th inning, Kennedy doubles, Dunn walks,

Berandina walks, Pudge, sac fly, brings in Kennedy, score 3-8. Morse walks, Espinosa - GRAND SLAM.... score 3-12 Nationals.

7th inning stretch... Presidents Race

Bottom of the 7th inning, Morgan doubles, Kennedy out, Ryan Zimmerman singles to bring in Morgan score 3-13.

That was an exciting game, we had a lot of fun.

Great pic of the 2 of you guys!! Thats a nice ballpark. My mom was there last year when they were in DC... Going to ballparks is a must for our family on vacations. We go to the minor league all the time..

Okay, so I finally came over here from the other thread! So, I know where you live now. I actually work in Bowie (and we have another office in Annapolis).

Looks like you guys have had a very fun summer! We were at National Harbor last weekend - it was very nice. We haven't made it to the Nats stadium yet, but I LOVE going to Camden Yards.

Our trips are getting closer by the minute - CAN'T WAIT!!!

no matter where we are, on business travel or vacation we always find a stadium somewhere and watch a game, we have even watched high school. My DH played baseball in college at Texas A&M and was drafted but the Blue Jays, but he went into the Army instead, so we take baseball very serious...

We are both under 30 days now..... I am sooo ready for a vacation.

Camden is great, we always take the light rail up, and it makes it so easy. Love that Baseball, we tend to hang out at Pickles Pub before the games.

This last time we sat in the 2110 Eutaw Street section, and got the t-shirt, ball toss deal for under $20 a person, it was a lot of fun!

Sunrise Safari....

I am unsure if we should do this or not but I am thinking we might not be at AKL CL for awhile so we might as well go for it.

DH of course tells me to do what ever I want to do... I wish he would tell me if he wants to do it or not, but all I get is "we can do what ever you want"

 

[3Leafs]

I'll decide for you!!!! DO IT!!! I want to do it one day! This way I can live through you!

Just found your PTR! I feel your pain with the split stay. We were originally booked for 7 nights at the VWL but when we decided to add 2 more nights they were full so we are at AKL for the first two. No complaints b/c we LOVE it over there but with two toddlers it's a pain to move resorts...I didn't bother waitlisting b/c we have two other rooms for inlaws and I could only waitlist two rooms at a time. Oh well. We have done it before..we just don't unpack as much as we usually do.

Love the game pics..my husband is a huge Mets fan but he has never been to a game since we are about 6 hrs. from NYC. Someday....

Go for the Sunrise Safari!!!

I've always thought the Sunrise Safari would be really cool. I'd try it...I think it would really round out your AKL experience.

Thanks for stopping by....

We have seen the Mets twice this year. Sorry to say they lost both times to the Nats.

But baseball is in our blood, I think we are going for it, for the sunrise safari that is.

 

[dgbg100106]

Well I booked the Sunrise Safari this morning....I can't wait to see all of the animals and have a great time.

I can understand that.... I am going to see my oldest grand daughter in October for her dance recital and only her moms knows I am coming, it is a surprise.
