Go Rays!

Back on Father’s Day, boyfriend’s mom gave Daddy Gene a family trip to go see the Tampa Bay Rays play.  Daddy Gene has been wanting to go to a baseball game so it was the perfect occasion to give him some tickets.  So on Labor Day we went to St. Pete to see the Rays vs. the Rangers.  Before we left town we all met at First Watch for breakfast.  Then we all 12 of us squished in 2 cars and made the drive to St. Pete.  I got car sick after about 20 min on the road.  I hate driving but if I’m not driving I tend to get a little sick. 
My favorite part of going to any sporting event is the hot dogs!  I ate a $7 Footlong Hot Dog with my $9 diet Pepsi in a souvenir cup.  It’s crazy how much stadiums are allowed to up charge on their food.  I feel like there should be some regulations on that.  I passed a soda machine for $5 20oz bottles.  WOWZA!  I say regulate or tax stadium vendors heavily to go to schools or civil service workers. 
Daddy Gene had a fun time at the game.  He made friends with the guy sitting in front of him too.  I think he really just enjoyed being with his two daughters and 4 grandkids!  Afterwards we drove back to Winter Park to his house to have BBQ and cupcakes.  I had sooo much soda that day and all the car sickness I felt yucky the rest of the night. But it didn’t stop me from eating my cupcake!
