Fun night tonight!


It was SO cool seeing the girls live. The park looked at capacity...we walked up right at the first at bat and the park was PACKED...had to wait off to the side for top of the 1st before we were able to scout a section of seats for the 3 of us.

Saw Chip leading the LET'S GO HOKIES chants...multi-tasking on a laptop at the same time lol (Apologies if this wasn't you Chip, but whomever it was was a dead ringer lol)

Foul ball funnies (which you rarely see when watching on the tube/internet): One was a line drive to the Hokie dugout. Girls were ducking down, but there is protective netting there so no danger I believe. Pete...didn't....move....a....muscle. He must just be immune or uses the force...who knows.

Second Foul ball funny - so evidently for home games (maybe just this one), If you get a foul ball in the stands an event staffer hustles over and trades you a coupon for a pound of Smithfield's bacon to get the ball back. The guy said the balls cost $10/each so I guess a $5 pound of bacon is a good trade lol. NO, we didn't get one..the family next to us did...the dad totally whiffed on the catch...not saying I would have done better but it was funny!

5th innning was glorious...we ended up moving around to the outfield down 3rd base line at that point and I liked the view from there....could better tell which of those balls was definitely going to be unplayable...folks setup in that small area on the hill there were very nice and chill...must have been 5 doggos there and my 9 yr old was in heaven.

Man....what an awesome Hokie experience!!
