We got in two Nats games this summer, this time against the Red Sox, who ended up getting the sweep over the July 4th weekend. It was a hot one, but the game was close enough to keep it exciting. Plus, despite a couple down pours, the kids got to walk the warning track (instead…
A Capitol Fourth
We stayed closer to home for the 4th of July this year, and got a nice view of the fireworks off the National Mall. The weather really cooperated for us, after so many super hot and muggy days. It was a rare treat to take in the fireworks display in such fashion!
Real Madrid Again
Not long after our first World Club Cup game in DC, we decided to see O’s favorite team Real Madrid (again) in the quarterfinals. Half of us ventured up to New Jersey for a long, sunny day away from home. The exciting victory made the trip totally worthwhile!
Washington Walk Off
We got the witness the Nationals break out of a slump, with a walk-off home run by James Wood to cement the team’s first win in days. It was a hot one, but worth it to witness and extra-innings worth of action! Plus subs Alex Call and Riley Adams – two of the boys’ favorites…
World (Club) Cup with Italy and UAE
We had ties to both teams vying for points at the inaugural World Club Cup match in Washington, DC. The Al Ain FC hailed from our former home emirate in the UAE, while Juventus is the local team where three of our births are registered. It wasn’t a particularly close match, but it was a…
Another School Year Flies By
And just like that, another school year ended in the blink of an eye. C conquered a new school, and O found his stride. Now onto a summer of fun and adventure, and hopefully, less activities!
Rest of Louisville for Brian’s Birthday
After a morning trip to Churchill Downs, we celebrated Brian’s birthday with some baseball, bourbon (just B) and good food!
A Trip to the Derby (Sort Of)
In Louisville, we missed the real Kentucky Derby by a couple of weeks, but that didn’t stop us from a trip to Churchill Downs on another race day to take in the famous horse racetrack. We got to tour the museum and the track without all the crowds. Maybe we’ll catch the real thing one…
A Different Baseball Experience
In Louisville to celebrate Brian’s birthday, the first stop on the agenda was the iconic Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory. We got up close and personal with some iconic bats, and those being produced for sluggers big and small. We even got a mini bat to take home and live out some MLB dreams.
