last summer, brian & i were in chicago to see the braves play the cubs...we decided we'd start a new family tradition - something we both love (the Braves & baseball!) & could enjoy (eventually) with our kids - traveling to see our hometown team in a park we've never visited.
this summer it was only fitting that we head to NYC to see the yankees (take on kansas city) & the mets (against our bravos!)...watching each team play a game in their legendary ballparks in their final seasons. both teams will have new homes next year.
we left atlanta early sunday morning & saw an absolute slug-fest sunday afternoon in yankee stadium. the yanks beat the royals 15-6! despite the fact that i actually did doze off during the game (what? we got up *really* early sunday morning to fly out!) our seats were great & the weather was perfect. it felt strange actually *cheering* for the yankees, but...
thanks to brian's parents for coming to stay with garrett. now that he's crawling all over the place, we know it made their time here a bit more tiring than when he was a stationary little guy! i know brian & i will spend the next week undoing all the "love" (aka, spoiling!) garrett received while we were away! fortunately...we wouldn't have it any other way! thanks, mom & dad!

What a great tradition!
You look great, by the way!
Can't wait to hear about all the other fun things you did; so glad it was a great trip. You know I'm jealous - I love NYC! Did you get to try any of the places I suggested?
