Ball game

I went to my first sports game ever yesterday and boy, was that an experience. It was pretty much a whole day event because the game was in downtown Seattle, a few hours drive from Vancouver. We left the house at 9am in the morning and got back at 3:30am!! It was an awesome road trip and I have to say, it's all in the company =)

Being my first game, I had no idea what to expect. I have never watched a game baseball in my life but it was SO fun. Let the photos tell the story...

First stop: Target

"Women's lounge" aka toilet

Tickets!!

Where should we go?

Almost at the game..could smell the excitement

Stocking up on snacks before entering the stadium

This is it! We are finally here! The stadium that seats 47,878 fans.

Prepare to catch the balls

Practicing

I have never seen so many people in one place

Why hello there

Hey boys

Unobstructed view of the game

My seat...right in the middle of the action

Go team go!

Catch that ball.

After the game finished...and we are loitering in downtown now.


By the time the game finished it was like 10:30pm and took us about a good half hour to walk to our car. But alas, the need for shopping has not yet been satisfied. We have been influenced by the barrage of choice and consumerism culture - tell tale signs you are in the States =) Sure enough, we hit up a 24 hour Walmart on the way home.

Walmart at midnight...quite empty

What shall we buy?

Everyone looking pretty tired

Oh my goodness..how big are the bags of cereal?!?!?!

Wow. Too many Special K flavours to choose from!

Chocolate bars for 50cents. Score.

Finished. One hour later.

A game centre inside Walmart

24hour Maccas inside as well

Good bye Walmart

Finally it was time to go home, we were all pretty exhausted from a full day road trip.

Good bye Walmart.

Good bye America.

Perhaps see you later this week ;)
