Padre Games

We really hit the jackpot this season! Our first game I bought tickets for the nosebleeds on Mormon Night for $10 each. On our way in (an hour and a half late) a couple asked us if we'd like tickets in the premier club seating. Heck yes! The seats were behind home plate and there were waiters available to take your orders. We didn't take advantage of that service since we were trying to have a frugal night out. At the end of the game there were fireworks put to the music from classic baseball movies. I have never seen a more amazing fireworks show! They shut off all of the major stadium lights and the fireworks were being shot off from just the other side of the field. Such an awesome night!

The next game was provided by my wonderful father. He was particularly excited about this game because it was against the San Francisco Giants. Jason is a fan and my dad frequents their games when he visits San Francisco for business. He sprung for some nice seats for Jason, myself, himself, Derek, David, and two friends of my brothers'. My dad's the best!

Our third game was thanks to a coworker who had several free tickets for the nosebleeds and I snagged the last two! 

Our last game of the season was back in the nice seats with my dad and some clients. He had purchased the tickets well in advance and had two to spare. So at 4pm he texted me to ask if we wanted them. Of course! Man, I love my family and being back in San Diego. Hopefully next season we'll be just as lucky!

Disneyland!

Jason's first time at Disneyland! 31 years old and he finally made it! We decided to go in October since that's supposed to be off season. We headed up there on a Saturday so I didn't have to take work off and got there a few minutes after the park opened. It was pretty dang crowded! Halloween is a popular time so if we had gone earlier in the month we may have had better luck. So we had to get strategic with our fast passes to be sure we hit all the classic rides. Indiana Jones was shut down (typical) and while waiting in line for Pirates of the Caribbean it broke down too. Luckily we stayed close by at Tom Sawyer's Island (or whatever its called now) and once we got back to land Pirates was just opening up! We got to walk right in! It was a Disney Miracle! We got to go in the Haunted Mansion, went on Splash Mountain, Star Tours, Winnie the Pooh, Space Mountain, Peter Pan, and went in Mickey's House.

Jason thinks Disneyland is Fabulous!

Disneyland is a culinary experience as well. We got the Dole Whips of course, corndogs, and a treat from Pooh Corner. 

Jason had a great time and I did as well seeing his reactions to this new "world". We'll be back in May!

He was excited, I swear.
