Father's Weekend

The sorority held a Father's Weekend in appreciation for all the things fathers do.  All the Pi Phi families sat together way up high in the stadium.  But believe it or not, the seats were good.  I don't think there is a bad seat in the house at Petco Park.
The whole family went.  The Padres were crushed, they lost 10-1 to the Pirates.  Ouch!  But we enjoyed hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, and cracker jacks!
Daddy and his girls.  HH has a way with the girls.  He explains things to them in a logical, understanding way and they respond.  More than I can do.  I can never find the right words and I'm emotional.  They have an awesome relationship built on Love, Trust and Respect.
Katie and the Handsome Husband.  They gave away Padre T-shirts to everyone.  (What am I going to do with all of those?)
The girls.  It was a nice night, not too cold, but glad we had jackets toward the end.
                                  Greg and Alyssa made the trip from L.A. Alyssa also had a fitting for her dress on this day and we did a little shopping at South Coast Plaza.
The ballpark is in the middle of downtown San Diego, a maze of two lane one way streets.  A nightmare to get to, but super cool in its Urban setting if you lived in the downtown area.  Its close to the water, next to the Gaslamp district and can be reached by trolley from SDSU (which is the way we will go next time).  A good time was had by all!

This is my hubby's kind of night!
It is sort of fun when the stadium is in the city though. Ours in Seattle is like that, you can see the ocean, the skyline, it is fun when we go. We usually get there a few times a year. One of the perks of Ron's coaching and teaching baseball. Some of the appreciative parents will give us tickets or let us use their season seats when not using them. And sometimes we just buy some to go and have a date day. I even enjoy it when it is in person, better than watching it on TV.
You have a lovely family, beautiful girls!!
Glad you all had fun!

My brother and sister-in-law used to live in the Gaslamp District and had season tickets to the Pads. It was so fun to go to their place and just walk to the stadium. Such a fun area!
