This weekend Josh, Eric and I all drove to Anaheim to see the Mariners play. Yes, we had to settle for Anaheim because Seattle was too expensive for me to pull off. With that being said we were definitely sore thumbs in the crowd. More so the first game than the second. We drove down late Friday night because I went to the Chuck Wicks' concert that night. (I'll post pictures of that when I get them) We finally made it to Anaheim early Saturday morning after a lot of CDs and a lot of random conversations. That day we went to the mall to find a Mariners hat but every time we walked into a sports store it was just filled with Angels stuff. Imagine that. We did happen to find one though. We took a cab to the game that night. I have came to realize, after only 3 cab rides now in my entire life, that no 2 cab rides will be the same. Both games we had great seats but these ones were just a lot closer. These seats happened to be right behind another few Mariners fans so that was cool to be able cheer with them when they scored their 1 run for the game. Although the Mariners lost it was still a good time.
We went to this nasty Mexican restaurant after the game for dinner but didn't eat much. Went back to the hotel, got in the jacuzzi for a little bit, went to Downtown Disney (the ESPN Zone), went to Denny's to eat since that was the only restaurant open past 12:00, went back to the hotel and passed out. Sunday we woke up late so unfortunately we didn't make it to the game early like Josh had hoped to watch batting practice. Our seats were pretty good this game too. We were just in the out field but almost right down center field. The weather was a lot better for this game too. So good that we all got our share of a sunburn. If you ask Josh though he would probably say that he didn't get burnt but that he got tan.
I have to say this game was a lot more fun than Saturdays. Even a little intense towards the end. But in the end the Mariners WON. I was very happy that I didn't waste my money to go all the way there to see them lose. I think Josh was very happy too.
Right after the game we left. I think I have came to realize that I really enjoy baseball games. It was so laid back and so entertaining. We had a great time. It was a lot of fun. I am pretty sure Josh enjoyed his birthday present. This was the least I could do to make up for all the other gifts I gave him HA HA!
Sounds fun!
