Royals

Adam called me earlier in the week last week and had asked if I wanted to go to the Royals Game that next weekend because someone at his work was giving him tickets. I said sure, we haven't been out to a game yet and it sounded like a fun Sunday. He had no idea who they were playing, but we didn't much care.

Come to find out this weekend was the biggest series of the year...it's interleague play vs. the Cardinals! So we got to see some good old Missouri Rivalry going on. Luckily it wasn't as hot as it has been here the past few days, and even though our seats were really high up, there was a nice breeze and we were right behind home plate.

It was crazy to me how many Cardinal fans were in the audience. In fact, there were so many people in red that it was hard to tell that the Royals were actually the HOME team! I felt kind of bad for the Royals, ha. Especially when we walked out to grab a drink and the ROYALS gift shop was selling CARDINAL appareal and gifts. I mean, really?! When you go to a Yankee game when they are playing Boston I HIGHLY doubt that they are selling some Sox gear!

But we did have fun. I went in with the intention of rooting for the Cardinals, since they are in the Reds division and all (and have a couple of formal Reds players!) but after seeing the crowd, I felt bad for the Royals and decided to root for the home team. I mean, when they sang the Take Me Out to the Ballgame song, it wasn't "Root, root root for the ROYALS" it was a complete mash...truth be told I heard more "Cardinals" instead of "Royals".

Luckily the Royals ended up winning 10-3! Yay!




See all of the red?!?

Me

I'm a newlywed with a love for the little things in life- sipping a cappuccino at a local coffee shop in the sunshine, art that seems to make no sense, the smile my husband gets sometimes when I catch him watching me, the cool breeze in the fall when the leaves are changing, my dog when she has somehow manages to wedge herself under my hand and I find myself petting her unknowingly, the smell of freshly cut grass, the sounds of the ocean, taking photos of instances you can never get back. I feel too much about things but may not always say it. I adore my mother. You'll find I take a lot of pictures. La vita รจ bella.
