take me out to the ball game

Growing up in a baseball loving family I naturally have a love for it. Whether it was going to my brothers baseball games or heading out to San Fransisco for a Giants game I loved EVERY minute of it. Living in Idaho there is no baseball insight and over the last few years I have been itching to be able to go out to a ball game. The first day Skyler and I got to Portland we took a drive down our street to check out the town and I spotted PGE Park, it looked like a baseball stadium if I had ever seen one but I knew for a FACT that portland does not have a major league team. That night I went home and did some research and found out that it IS a baseball stadium for the minor league team the Portland Beavers! I have been SO excited about this since we got here and last night a group of us finally went to a game!! I cant lie..I was a little disap
pointed by the small crowd but it was still a fun game and we got to sit right behind home plate. The beavers started off losing miserably but in the 5th inning they got a GRAND SLAM and ending winning the game 6-4! and the most exciting part of the game.....I caught a fly ball!!I really hope that one day we have a little boy who loves baseball so we can continue to have a team to root on!

AW!!! PGE Park!! The company I used to work for had a corporate box there, and we had some GREAT parties in there! How do you like the creepy metal-mache faces out front? Kinda weird huh. Have you checked out Powell's yet? Pearl District? OMSI? Pop Culture Frozen Yogurt? Jamison Park? Zoo? Lloyd Center Mall? Can't wait to hear all about your adventures there!!!
