Luke's First Mariners Game

Tom, Luke, and I took a quick trip to Seattle for the weekend in mid-July. As you can probably tell by my lack of posts, we have been busy lately. Our trip to Seattle was, yet again, a whirlwind tour visiting several friends. On the way, we stopped to visit Luke's godparents in Tacoma and caught the beginning of the Air Force Flight Show - it was a great air show. We managed to get to the Mariners game by the end of the second inning (traffic was heavy), grabbed the last parking spot in a nearby lot, and a Mariners employee gave us free tickets! It was our lucky day. It was not so lucky for the Seattle Mariners, though - they played awful with several errors in the field and poor hitting. Despite the poor play against Cleveland, Luke enjoyed the game (well, probably just watching nearby spectators). Kimmy and Alan graciously hosted us for the evening. On Sunday, we attended our former church and saw several friends. After church, we visited with three sets of friends: Jessi, Matt, and Lukas who are friends from college; Ratul and Martha who are friends from grad school; and Lindsey, Mike, and Isaac (Lindsey is a childhood friend of mine). We had a wonderful time and hope to get up north soon! Enjoy pictures from our trip.
