"Take me out to the ball game..."

On Friday we went to our first Braves game at Turner Field and therefore also experienced our first Major League Baseball game. I really didn't know what to expect from the game, even though several people warned me that I was going to be bored. Luckily I was happily surprised... we had a great time, even though the Atlanta Braves lost against the New York Mets.

Chloe, Charles and Ryan (Charles' friend from Emory) before the game.














Chloe and I having some refreshments to prepare for the game.














First thing we did after entering the field, was getting ourselves some jumbo hot dogs with everything on them. After those dogs, I probably won't have hot dogs in a while. :)














Not a bad view we thought, before moving down to the 8th row after the 5th inning.














A fully packed Turner Field, what an atmosphere!














After the 5th inning we moved down to the 8th row, where Ryan had seats.














Talk about a close up.















So today is Labor Day and we have had an extra day off... so wonderful! After 2 ½ great weeks, Chloe left back to France yesterday. And tomorrow reality starts for Charles, who's 2nd semester starts and for me I continue working intensively to beat the September 15th deadline for Corporate Income Tax Returns. Work is much more fun and challenging now that I have more to do and have deadlines to meet, it's great! Well, that'll be it for this time. Take care!

Kram!
