A Night Out in the Rain

For the past two years, Dave has gone in with his buddies and bought season tickets to the Braves games. We made it to two games last year. This year, not even that lucky. Every time we planned to go, the game would be canceled due to rain. I kid you not! It was so ironic. We planned to go last night. On Monday, I started watching the weather reports. There was only a 20% chance of rain for Thursday night. On Wednesday, the weather channel only called for scattered showers on Friday. As Thursday morning rolls around, it's POURING rain. I was trying to be optimistic, but as it got later in the day, the rain wasn't going any where. Dave and I still took a chance. As we hit the interstate, you would have thought we were driving through a hurricane. It was raining side ways. The Braves announcers were even saying they'd be shocked if the game wasn't canceled. We passed Turner Field and went to one of our favorite restaurants in Midtown. After having a cocktail and an appetizer, we saw on the tv that the Braves game started. It looked like the rain had quit. Dave wanted to try again. We got in the car, and it started raining. Once we pulled into the parking lot, it quit. Throughout the night, it sprinkled off and on. But at least we were able to go and have some fun in the rain. We ran into Danielle and Kirk (who we ALWAYS see at the Braves game - it's so funny). Great to see them!
Not to mention the Braves beat the Padres 9-1!

We got home and the house was quiet as a mouse. I guess Su Su and Sweet Pea had so much fun while we were gone, that they were passed out asleep!

View from our seats. Yes, I'm still a Chipper fan!
