If you don't know my husband and my in-laws, they are uber-baseball fans. They travel near and far to catch baseball games of all ages. Knowing them, it wouldn't surprise you to hear that they took a two week father-son-grandson summer vacation to Omaha, Nebraska to watch the College World Series. It was truly a trip that they'll never forget and a kind of a coming of age trip for Trae. Just Papa, Daddy and Trae in a hotel for two weeks, living off PB&J's and fast food, watching game after game after game.
I even took in some of the action for about 5 days -- but of course, I made them take me to a real sit down restaurant with waiters and no self-serve beverages and take me to the mall at least. I mean -- I do love sports more than the average woman but c'mon...I got to mix in some shopping and good food too!
Lucky enough, we got to cheer on the Champion Fresno State Bulldogs which included two players that Doobie (Sam) coached two years ago. One of them even got the MVP honors of the CWS. After the game, Trae looked at him so bright-eyed you'd think he was looking at Barry Bonds!
Best part about the trip is we got to celebrate Peanut! I broke the news over the phone while Daddy was in Omaha so I had to follow it up with a smooch. (I know, I know -- most of you probably threw up in your mouth a little.)
