Somewhere on the road during the morning… our place of rest during our stay in Phoenix…
The weather was CRAP on the way to Phoenix. We left Salida just before 1am and got into the Phoenix area at around 11:30am (local time). About nine and a half hours of driving in rain accompanied by freak flashes of lightening. I only drove about an hour and a half in the middle of it. I didn’t have too much rain, thank goodness. 😛
Pitchers and catchers reported today! And what a coincidence, we just happen to be in the area. Guess where we’re going to stop tomorrow? Right, Papago Park! I just want to see some of the players. I want to take pictures. Oh, and if I can get my picture taken with someone, even freakin’ better. 😀
We drove around Queen Creek and Coolidge, checking out some different spots. It’s growing out here in the Phoenix area. Wouldn’t it be an adventure to live here? Hmmm…
So I’m being a big nerd and I’m online here at the team hotel. Yes, we’re staying at the team hotel! Doesn’t that just make me an even bigger nerd? LOL!
I found these at Yahoo. Broken heart alert.
Hudson in that Braves uniform…
And Mulder in red… 🙁
I meant to bring my “I (heart) Mulder” shirt, but I forgot to look for it. I wanted to wear it when I saw the boys doing their practice thing. Oh well. 😛 The hubby thinks I won’t have the guts to say howdy to any of the players. I say I could do it, except most of the time I don’t recognize the players when I’m close next to them. Oh sure, I can figure out Zito or Harden or Chavez or Hatteberg, but after that I might be stuck. Bah!
I forgot to bring a Sharpie. Oh, and something for someone to sign. I’m so unprepared. Next year I want to come back for Spring Training games. Yah! 🙂
And I must say, having navigation in the car ROCKS!!! If you can get it, GET IT. It’s been way cool so far. 😉
