Atlanta Braves!

Jessica and I had to go overnight to Atlanta for a work conference (MHA Regional meeting) on Tuesday night.  We had not even thought about the Braves, until we turned on our exit to get to the hotel and it said Turner Field!  Just so happens that they were playing the Florida Marlins that night at home!  So...we bought tickets online and headed to the game.  We asked the guy at the front desk what would be the best way for us to get to the game.  He said to walk "6 blocks" to Underground Atlanta and catch the FREE shuttle to the game!  He also assured us that he walked the same route every night and most of the times he didn't get off work until midnight and that we would be perfectly safe!  We decided not to carry our purse...you know...so we'd be less muggable.  We put our credit card, ID, and phones in our back pockets and started walking.  After 1 hour and 15 minutes, 12 blocks, 2 police escorts, being hit on by 3 men, passing up 2 homeless guys asking for money, we made it back to the hotel!!!!!  That's right...Underground Atlanta was NOT the place for the two of us to be at ANY hour of the day, much less night!!  When we got to the shuttle, it cost $2 each...which we had NO cash...remember?  Less Muggable??  Anyways, we finally got back to the hotel and drove to the game! We finally made it during the 3rd inning, and we actually left during the 8th (to beat traffic and because we had to get up early the next day).  We were very glad we decieded to go to the game!  It was so much fun!!

We got GREAT seats!  Right behind the 3rd base dugout!!

As we were leaving, we asked a lady to take our picture!

Chipper Jones!  I'm so glad we got to see him play one of his last games!
