Fields of Dreams

Baseball has always been one of my favorite sports to watch, and many of you know (and probably cringe at the thought) that I'm a huge New York Yankees fan ;-) I can still remember the very first time I walked into "The House that Ruth Built." I felt so small inside the giant stadium as I saw the field for the first time. I can still hear the people's wild loud cheers and chants, hmm.. smell the popcorn and hot dogs....it was love at first sight! My mom and I used to root for Paul O' Neill, #21, and now it's #2 (Jeter), #13 (A-Rod) and #42 (Rivera) are in my heart :)

Bobby knew that my love was the Yankees when he first met me, and because of that he's a big Red Sox fan--go figure! Now one of our married life goals is to visit all the MLB baseball fields. So far we've been to Fenway, AT&T Park, and most recently, Safeco Field. Enjoy the pictures from our Seattle Mariner's field tour :) Lots of self-portrait shots! The pictures at the very bottom are from our Red Sox tour in 2004 & Giants tour in 2007.

***Yankees and Red Sox are battling again this weekend starting on Friday night at 7:05 PM***

Reminiscing Seattle

Since I posted about 25 pictures last night, I figured only one for tonight :) Before our Alaskan cruise, Bobby, his family, and I were in Seattle for 3 days and 2 nights. Gosh, that city is very beautiful as well! I used to live right outside of Seattle (Spanaway, WA) way back when I was in 7th grade, and I've always loved Mt. Rainier. Wherever you go in the city, and if it's not too foggy/misty or being blocked by tall buildings, you can always see Mt. Rainier from where you are standing. I miss the fresh air there, the artsy downtown Seattle, the lively Pike Place Market...I sort of want to go back and live there...hmmnn....

Back to earth..it's late and I am off to bed "early." I'm still trying to get over a cold and a bad cough...yuck. Here's a group picture of us at Bacco Cafe & Bistro. That place is awesome for breakfast and for fast and friendly service!

I'm Back!

We got home this morning from our family Alaskan cruise, and we all had a BLAST!! Thanks for the emails and all the love, and I'll be sure to post more pictures from our vacation soon. I'm super exhausted today and just slept all day! Before I go back to sleep, I just want to post one picture from our time in Seattle. The two nights we were in Seattle happened to be the same two nights that Mike Ness from Social Distortion had two concerts at The Showbox. We missed the concerts because we already had prior engagements and dinner reservations...but it never hurts to play "groupie" and wait for him at the back door after the concert.

Kat, this picture is for you ;-)
