Spring Training Saturday = Great Day!

We have been in Arizona for almost four years now and this weekend was the first time we made it to a Cubs spring training game. It was tough to go before because I was in school and my weekends were spent studying or writing papers. Saturday we went to the game and it was bright and sunny while being a fabulous 75 degrees, so I would call that a perfect day. We had seats where we noticed we were sitting amongst the tourist hicks, so we moved our butts out to the lawn sits. That was definitely more comfortable. We sat with my coordinator, her boyfriend, his mom and another friend of theirs. I must say that besides all the little kids running around the lawn was much better than having an actual seat. After sitting there for a little bit the group invited us to the Hohokaum room where there is free beer and free food. Of course we took up the offer. My coordinator’s boyfriend’s dad is a Hohokaum and that is the connection and how we got invited. Once in the Ho room, as they call it, Andy took full advantage of the free beer. It was a good thing that he had a driver…me! After a few hours of a “free for all” of beer we headed home. The forty-five minute car ride home was filled with entertainment by Andy as Chatty Carl cracked jokes about the “Ho” room and repeated stories. Andy is hilarious when he has had too much, but then again you know that since I have blogged about it in the past. The best thing about Saturday is that after leaving the dogs home alone for such a long day we came home to no messes and no damages to the kitchen. It was a great day!
