Opening Day!

Life begins when the season starts.

You know that feeling you have when you've been waiting for something for so long and it happens and its disappointing? I did not have this experience with Opening Day.

As soon as we lost Game 5 of the NLDS, I was counting down to April 1st, Opening Day at Nationals Park. The Nats have high expectations to live up to this year: they looked ready to compete in Spring Training and have been called the World Series favorite (which makes me nervous). So, OF COURSE IM EXCITED. I would be excited even if they sucked.

This year R and I went with my mom. G was in Myrtle so he couldn't come, but we OBV still had fun. There were some new additions to the park, mostly related to the NL East Division Championship. I especially love the huge pic of Werth crossing home plate in Game 4 after his game winning homerun. Ugh, best game ever. We got to watch the banner revealed that is over the scoreboard, which was exciting.

We also ran into the team organist, which we loved because G is always telling my mom she needs to do it. lol

Loved watching people stream into the centerfield gate.

They added a new racing president to George, Tom, Abe, and Teddy. Its Howard Taft, who is supposed to be a rival to Teddy, since they were rivals in the 1912 election. I understand why they chose him, but at the same time, Howard Taft??? In the same group as George, Tom, Abe and Teddy? Whatever.

We had such a great time, and they won :) I am so excited baseball is back. I feel like I'm alive again.

Also, another TG pic, just because. Hi.
