Hamels warming up

Headed out to ATL today with Ashley, Brittany and Mary to see the Phillies take on the Braves. Not very optimistic about them winning but always fun to see the Phils. We stopped at the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and in sticking to my diet I ordered off the healthy meau. That flatbread was only 460 calories!

We made our way to the hotel and chilled at the pool for a while before heading to the game. Phils lost in a game that wasn't even close.

Baltimore day 2 game 2

 

Got to check out James's new condo in the B and then headed to the game. 

Baltimore game 1

 

After a day of travel we relax in the outfield of Camden yards next to ta TV with a few beers. 

To Baltimore

Bacon and bananas for breakfast. Stopped by barrel Oak winery for some wine. We took the self guided tour and did some wine tasting. Quite the place, highly recommended!

Got to Baltimore around 3PM.

Heading to Baltimore

Left for Baltimore today. Stopped at the world famous (Gray/Cox famous) Depot Grill in Harrisburg Virginia. Memories abundant!

Mo's graduation day.

Went to Ruby's for the breakfast of champions and did a little shopping. We ran into a beautiful Newfoundland named Violet. Mary fell in love, ha! Violet is a water rescue dog as well. She was a gentle giant for sure. She was 130 pounds and had feet bigger than Mary!

Next we headed to Villanova to see Mo. The graduation was pretty short and sweet. After that we headed McShea's, use to be Managhans are something like that. We got there just in time too. Right in the 80th minute of the UEFA champions game with a score of 0-0. Instantly 2 amazing headers were scored, one a piece. The game went into a shootout and several crazy situations lead to a Chelsea win!

After that we came to grandmom's and watched the Preakness (sp?). We hit the town after that and I must say was pretty disappointed with the night life in downtown Philly. Maybe I'm getting to old but it seemed like the same bar one after another and the locals seemed to think live music equals a DJ pushing buttons. All bars were super small as well. We ended up circling back to the place we started at, Rotten Ron's. Also I think Philly wins for the absolutely worst, most rudest cab drivers on the planet. This place needs a little southern hospitality for sure!

Phillies v. Red Sox

Finally made it to a Phils game! Last year when we were up here they were out of town. We came up this year to go to a friends graduation at Villanova and it worked out that the Phils were here. Funny thing too, the 6ers played the Celtics in a playoff game right across the street. Both Boston teams lost! That was the Phils 6th win in a row and tied the series for the 6ers at 2-2.

Also bought my second normal Phillies hat.

Game 5

George, George, Dave and Mary's first Clearwater Phillies game day.

Game 4

Sarasota, Lee, family, Mary's first time keeping score. Phils lost 2-0.

Riot fun

Travis is keeping me updated on all the Riot action while I'm gone. Our 700 shirt order arrived and our stickers!!

Day 3 - games 2 and 3

Went to Sarasota to see the Phils take on the Os. Halladay was on the mound and did the job. They won 4-1 but lost Martinez to a broken foot from a fastball. Dad did get his autograph before the game though.

We also went into Tampa to see the Pirates and Yankees.
