Mariners vs. Red Sox

Mom, Eryn and I drove north Wednesday morning for this week's summer adventure. We arrived in Seattle in plenty of time for the afternoon Mariner's game but drove around for almost two hours trying to find a parking spot under $40.

We finally parked in the Qwest stadium lot for $25 and made it to our seats in Safeco Field during the third inning. The view was terrific from the front row of the upper deck, right above Ichiro!
We witnessed a couple Mariner homers, Oregon native Jacoby Ellsbury and a shirtless man running around the field. He made it all the way across the outfield before getting tackled by one of the pursuing security guards - right below us!
The game went into extra innings, and we donned our rally caps to help the Mariners wrap it up.
It didn't help. The Red Sox beat the Mariners for their first series sweep at Seattle in 15 years. We still had a great time. After the game, with our car stuck on the top of a six-story garage and a train blocking the exit, we passed the time at a nearby thrift store and found great bargains! A good trip to Seattle :)
