Spring Training

After we returned home from Morro Bay, we thought we didn't have anything planned until our San Diego trip in March. Well, that changed quickly when we realized every weekend of Spring Training except for one was booked for us. Luckily that one weekend we had free was our approaching 3 day weekend and we decided we would travel to Arizona to see our boys in red play some Spring Training baseball! We were watching the weather and one day it would say it was going to rain in Phoenix that weekend we wanted to go then the next day it would say sunny. We finally decided 2 days before we left for that trip that we were going to go. I'm not normally so spur of the moment. Spontaneous is not my middle name so it was driving me crazy with yes were going....no were not....yes we are. The weather held off though so we hit the road. We had a great drive out to Phoenix on our off Friday and even got there for the Friday Angel game at Diablo. Lance had never seen an Angel game at Diablo so I was so excited he was able to finally see a game there!We didn't buy tickets before hand to this game because we weren't sure we were actually going to make it to the game in time. But alas, we made it on time and we bought some phenomenal tickets!Oh ya! Nice and close! We were about 8 rows back! We were actually very close to Mr. Arte Moreno himself! Arte is the owner of the Angels for those that aren't familiar with the Angel organization.The beard is new this season for him, and we are doing awful so I think it's time he get rid of it! :)

Here are some other pictures Lance took during the game.

My in-laws drove out from Tucson on Saturday to catch a game with us as well. We loved being able to see them! Some how though we didn't get any pictures of them. But I swear they were there!! :) We had really good seats for that game as well! And we were in the shade the whole game! Bonus!!

Check out Oakland's catcher. He's practically standing up waiting to catch the high heat to Napoli. I'm sure Napoli fell for it and struck out! *He's Cat's favorite and has not been so impressive this year!*

We had a lovely quick trip to Arizona and even though I'm not a spur of the moment type of girl I'm really glad we went! We lost both games we watched, but I think that's just the type of season the Angels are going to have this year. Oh well, chalk it up to a rebuilding year!

Love,
