Take me out to the ballgame...

"Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don't care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes you're out
At the old ball game."
So if you haven't already guessed by the song, on Saturday night I went to my first Major League baseball game. The Washington Nationals were playing the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and we got free tickets through one of Jeremy's friends. Tim (the guy who got us tickets) is friends with the announcer for the Devil Rays, so he managed to score us great seats and a couple of Press passes. Even though I just barely knew what was going on, it was still really fun. We went with a few of Jeremy's friends from SS that we hadn't really seen for a while, so that was good. Afterwards we went out to bar for some drinks with the guy who had got us the tickets. We ended up back at home sometime around 3am. It was a great night.
Jeremy and I in our seats. What a view!
Other than that, not too much is going on here. Marianne's son, Joseph, is visiting from New York for the summer. He'll be here for about a month, which is great because it means that the girls go to him when they want to annoy someone instead of me! Haha.
Also, I have this week off (YAY!). Marianne has taken the girls and Joseph to visit family in Florida, so I'm spending the week at Jeremys. He's still working though, so really I'm spending my days with the crazy puppies. Tuesday is 4th of July, so we're trying to decide what to do for that. We're considering going into the city to watch the fireworks, but there will be people everywhere so we're not sure yet. No doubt we'll do something fun!
And that's about all the news I have. Not very exciting, I know, but hey! You all say you want to know so I'm telling. It's still storming here on and off, although it's nothing like the 14 inches we had last week! I'm still trying to send some over there, but I'm not sure it's working.
Oh, and for all you car buffs....Guess what car we saw on Sunday night after dinner? Parked right next to us was a Maserati! That's right, a car that's worth almost AU$250,000 was sitting right there in the lot next to us. Just goes to show how much money is floating around the area where we live.
