thanks Dad

Last night we went to the Nats-Padres game. The team from the left coast won in the 14th inning. Luckily for us, my dad gave us tickets in a suite and we were quite comfortable for the five hour game. As you can see from the picture, attendance was light towards the end.

In what I can only hope is the beginning of a great number of comparisons, I likes this box a little more than the one in Philadelphia earlier this year. The inside area was similar, but Nats Park gets bonus points for the seats. In Philly they just had regular seats. At NP our seats were leather and had a high back, which was very nice during pitching changes in the 12th inning.

Other than the final score, it was a great night to be at the game. The weather had cooled off to the 60s and the sky was clear. The game went on so long they had two President's races - Teddy didn't win either - and we heard reports they were giving away free food downstairs, although we weren't about to mingle with the common folk on the other levels. And our seats were great.
