Happy 4th!

We went to Atlanta to enjoy some time away. We started our day at the PGA Golf Store where I got a new hybrid club. Watch out - here I come! (Several of you are shaking in your golf shoes!) We then headed to the hotel where the littlest and oldest stayed to swim while Amy, Linda and I went to the mall to find all the bargains no one else wanted. I did come away with several new articles of clothing for school. Here we are heading into the Braves game vs. Houston Astros.
Posted by PicasaWe were in 2 different sets of seats. One set was RIGHT BEHIND HOME PLATE BY THE ON-DECK OF THE VISITORS. We were closer to home plate than the pitcher! We could turn and see the faces of the Astros in the dugout. They were UNREAL seats!!! Did I mention they came with valet parking and all you could eat food? The costs of the seats for someone was $300 a seat. Yes - $300 bucks for one seat with an incredible view, any type of food you could dream of in a flash, easy parking and perfect fireworks. What a way to watch a game! Thank goodness McKamy has buddies who will share Braves tickets. All the adults got to experience the seats for a few innings.
The other seats were good "average Joe" seats that most anyone would love to have. Now that we've been on the front row these look pretty sad though. Our dinner consisted of 4 slices of pizza, 1 bag of chips, 1 bottled water and 1 large coke for the low cost of $48. UNREAL! Forty-eight dollars for a snack. It was so sad. The parking was the same because we rode together and the fireworks were the best ever at the Braves.
For my eldest nephew, here is how I saw Lance. For my only son, here is how we saw Chipper.
Rheagan was so thrilled about the whole game that she got sick with tummy troubles and a high fever. She didn't take advantage of the unlimited good food. Should have known something was up at that point!
