On Tuesday my dad, brothers, Kitana and I all left for Seattle. Kitana was really good. Surprisingly she decided to sleep almost the whole way. On the way up we stopped in Yakima for lunch. I woke Kitana up to change her diaper and something smelt a little stinky. I thought maybe just a fart. Nope, it was poop. So I checked and thought it was just a streak, which was why I was just gonna change her on my lap before we left. Well, its never that easy when it comes to changing Mrs. stinky pants. She always poops through her clothes and this was nothing else. She managed to poop through her outfit and my pillow case. Once she was all cleaned up we were back on our way.
The game started at 7:00pm and we got into Seattle right around 5ish...so we sat in traffic for over an hour to move 15 miles to Safeco field. We hadn't bought tickets yet so we hurried and paid for parking just a block away. Let me tell ya, that's a money maker right there. For "event parking" it ranges up to $50.00. Holy smokes!
We decided to buy cheap tickets in the outfield somewhere. I was totally ok with that. I would have sat up there and watched the game with Kitana but that's not what everyone else was gonna do so I changed my mind. I took her stroller to Customer Service and we walked the main level. After walking around we found a spot to stand just to the left of home plate. Kitana loved it. She loves people watching and seeing whats going on so that was perfect for her.
Isaiah, Kitana and I snuck in past the card checkers and sat in the seats at the very top. We sat there for the remainder of the game.
The biggest downfall of the day was that the Yankees lost the game...oh and not reserving a flipping hotel room. That's a whole other story there! I guess President Obama was somewhere in Seattle during the time we were there and every freaking hotel was booked. We didn't find a hotel until 12:15. I was crabby, tired, and hungry and then once I saw the inside of the hotel I was scared. By far the worst hotel I've EVER stayed in. Never again will I go anywhere without a reservation. Good thing we only slept and showered there.
The next day, (Wednesday) we got up bright and early. After getting ready and hittin up McDonald's for breakfast we were off to Safeco Field to find some tickets. Dad splurged on us and got us some good seats! But before the game started they let fans go down and take pictures so that's what I did!
Both games were great games. Even though the Yankees lost on Tuesday they came back and won Wednesday. Kitana got a little certificate saying "My first time at a Mariner Game." And we got a chance to watch our favorite MLB team....
Got lots more pics to add later!
