Happy Padres Day!....Post Views....25,025




 Take me out to the ballgame.....

To a San Diego Padres game... 
on Father's Day....
 Daddy's first one...















Mommy Amanda, Daddy Bill, Gram G, cousin Gemma...Baby Berklee...


Uncle Gerry, 
studying the game...
Cousins, Jude and Ryan...







Gram G
helping me eat frozen lemonade..

I'm digging the action!!






Gram G's really cool!

 Some day I will grow into her hat!!






We Win!!








Cuz Ryan set for 
Milwaukee Brewers 
           and
San Diego Padres!!


     Gram G was excited for the ball game, but a little apprehensive as well.  The temp was into the 90's.  I didn't know how the day would go with sitting in the sun and having a baby along.  However, Bill did a great job of getting seats mostly in the shade. Berklee did well all afternoon.  She had a BALL!

      We  left Carlsbad at 11:20 AM for a 50 minute ride on the Coaster to the end of the run in downtown San Diego.

Enjoying socializing on the Coaster...




Waiting for a ride on the trolley to Petco Park




    After the game we had 2 hours before the 7PM Coaster back to Carlsbad.  We checked out Seaport Village for some shade, rest, ice cream and water views.









Finally it was a walk back to the trolley to the Coaster for the 50 minute ride back to Carlsbad Station to back home with the almost full moon glowing.






To some Father's Day gifts to Daddy Gerry.
