San Diego Padres baseball. Can't get enough of it. Last time we were down, in April, they won both games. We thought we were good luck. In the 8 games we've been to since last year, they had only lost once.
Until this weekend.
We had three games lined up and the Nationals were in town. We were excited to see Uncle Bobby's fave player, Bryce Harper, play in person. He didn't disappoint. I think he hit a home run or two. Let's just say we left Friday night's game early we lost so bad. We were tired from the drive down and it was the first time we left before the end of the game.
This girl always sit next to me during the games and she keeps me on my toes with her questions and antics. She likes to yell and talk trash. I don't know where she gets that from....
Saturday after breakfast we headed out to find something to do before the 5:40 game. We left the hotel around noon and it began to rain. We pulled into the parking lot at Balboa Park and after looking for a parking spot for 15 minutes, decided to head to Old Town. We went to the Mormon Batallion site again and it was even better than I remember it the first time we saw it....which was in July 2010.
Luke volunteered for Tubbs to be called up during one demo to show all of the gear the soldiers had strapped on as they marched. It was pretty funny to see Tubbs' face when Luke lifted his arm to volunteer.
After the "show" was over we headed to the back patio to mine for gold.
Lunch before the game was Luche Libre's and it was awesome. These queso chicken tacoes are the best and worth the 20 minute wait in line.
Before Satuday's game we waited for signatures before the game, but ended up not getting any. The players only signed a few items before the game started. We were super close though. Maybe next time. (Matt Kemp below)
Waiting for Satuday's 5:40pm game to start up.
This little girl loves her SD tattoos.
Sunday games are pretty wonderful because it's kidsfest and the kids get to meet two Padres for signatures. This game it was Abraham Almonte and the new catcher, Austin Hedges.
Our view before the game starts.
We have a kitty cat ready for the game.
We lost all three games, so that was a bummer, but we always have a great time together. Until next time San Diego.....
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
