For it's 1, 2, 3...

By
This year for Father's Day, Justin took Jack to his first major league game. They went to Citi Field to see the Mets play the Cubs. Jack's best friend Jake and Jake's dad Dan joined them.

There are a couple of options for getting to Citi Field: the 7 or LIRR. The guys decided on the 7 and Jake and Jack were probably more excited about riding the train to the stadium than the game itself. The 7 starts below ground at Times Square and after crossing the east River, is above ground all the way out to the stadium. Apparently the boys chatted about the train, all the stops, and what they saw along the way the entire ride. Dan described them as being like two old men bickering about which route to take. 

The stadium and their awesome seats were almost a disappointment (though I think Justin and Dan appreciated them) after the train. Regardless, they made the most of it - eating hot dogs, wearing baseball caps, roaming around the field, and eating Cracker Jacks.

Jack and Jake made it through the seventh inning before starting to wear out. This was about 2-3 innings longer than we expected! All in all, it was a great time!

ps: next year, Justin will be able to take both boys and I will head to the spa! ;)

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

By
Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
