Night with the Nats






One of Ryan's awesome co-workers let us use her Nationals tickets Friday. They were great seats in a brand new ball park. Despite a loss to the Braves, it was still so much fun. Here are some of the highlights:

* Getting photos with Honest Abe and General Washington.
* Discovering that Ethan likes Washington and hates Lincoln.
* Watching the presidents race (my favorite part of Nats games).
* Downing humongous Coke floats.
* Observing the people around us pay $7 each for bottles upon bottles of beer.
* Waiting in line to use the "family bathroom" (with international symbols of woman, man and baby WITH A DIAPER ON just outside) only to find a large single bathroom without a changing table.
* Sitting in the same seat with a 14-month-old.
* Enjoying the beautiful weather - overcast and in the 70s.
* Loving the post-game fireworks show.
* Feeling a large man's belly in my back on a cramped Metro ride home.
* Finally getting Ethan to bed at 11 p.m.!

P.S.
I see you're sporting a cute purse. Did you finally retire your diaper bag. I can't wait to get rid of mine. It's so big and heavy.

I love going to baseball games. That's fun you were able to go. And it's crazy how much everyone drinks beer, huh! And for 7 dollars a pop they are making bank.
