Why Is There Always a Story ????


On saturday the 9th Dave and I went to Atlanta to go see the Braves play the Cubs, we used to go together at least once a season but I had not been since I was 8 months pregnant with Hope, and this was our first trip together ( sans kids ) and we could not wait to see the game. We conned, er, asked our pastor and his wife to keep the girls so we could go and spend the night, everything was a "go" for our trip. We arrived in Atlanta a little later than we liked but we swung by the hotel to do a quick check in and head to the park for bp. Unfortunatly, the hotel had a problem, they were not able to give anyone a key to their room till the manager got there ???? well an hour and 3 rooms later we were on our way to the ballpark. Braves/Cubs, a saturday night, who knew it would be the 4th largest crowd in Braves history with 53,l000 fans! Ever tried to drive 3 miles in Atlanta and find a parking place??? 1.5 hours later, we made it into the stadium around the 5th inning. Ok, ok we are here, luck has changed, grab some dinner, a beverage and watch the end -- who knew the margarita stand would shut down as I was the next customer.... ok. let's just go watch the game. Dave was on tv for a pop-up, my hands on top of my head made the shot. We checked in the next morning, and with some bribing and drugs Hope finally went to sleep on her first night away from us around 10 pm, and Paige was seen taking her medication.
