Dodgers in ATL

So we try to catch a couple Braves games every season...but, THIS series...we just HAD to attend! The Dodgers were coming to town...and if you didn't know...Fred grew up right outside LA and has been a HUGE Dodgers fan, all his life...So, I don't know how he missed this, but he didn't tell me until the day before the series started! UGH...how am I supposed to get good seats for the 4 of us?! Well after the Braves ticket thing cut me off for 'maintenance' at 2am...we weighed our options! Take the kids...or get a sitter & pay her the $$ we'd be spending on another ticket! It wasn't an easy decision...but with another deployment looming & considering I haven't spent more than 10 consecutive hours away from Lauren since she was born in 2007...this 'day date' was a welcome idea! But, I have to admit that the 3+hour drive is way more entertaining with the kids around...but, I did get a few random pics while sitting in ATL traffic!

Where are we?! Mayberry!? We left the house at 11:30am...we didn't get to our seats [12 rows behind the Dodgers dugout] till part way through the first inning! Atlanta traffic SUCKS!

Well, it was hard to be upset that the Dodgers lost [3-4]...cause Fred & I were having an amazing time, just the two of us! We detoured over to Trader Joe's for a few bottles of 2 buck Chuck, LOTS of cookies and some organic lollipops for the Lovins! Then headed to Atlantic Station for a late din din. We drive past this place everytime we go to Ikea, but have yet to check it out. Since it was already so late & we still had the drive home to look forward to, we ate at the first place that came along...Lucky for us it was California Pizza Kitchen...Mmm Mmm, HOME! After starting w/lettuce wraps & tortilla soup...this 1/2 salad was gianormous! Fred with his Greek pizza had plenty to take home...

Welp...there was nothing left to do, but drive home...
