Prayers be with you my friend.
Probably a good idea to spend some time with your best friend before embarking on a lengthy 24/7 stay with your wife, LOL.
Lived there for two years when I was in the USCG. Marvelous little jewel. Very nice boardwalk. Had an apartment right on the mall. I don't do road trips anymore. I'll be going to my beach house on Topsail Island and spending the week. We decorate the place with flags and bunting for the 4th of July. The whole island is addicted to firework displays and beach parties. Population swells from ~900 residents to tens of thousands. Bars and live music are non-stop.
Taking the kids down to San Antonio this weekend for the free Seaworld tickets they gave to veterans. Also talked about maybe going to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach sometime in late Aug./early Sept. but don't know if we'll do that for sure.
️ game. I’ve been to two in my lifetime. So told my parents they were cool with it and told me to pick a stadium that was in driving distance. So I originally chose Philadelphia Phillies because they were going to be playing my second favorite team that week the Milwaukee Brewers. Dad said no he wouldn’t drive in the city of Philadelphia so had to rethink. First chose Baltimore but that’s too dangerous so then decided on Pittsburgh Pirates PNC park as the place where we would go. So July 15th we will be at PNC Park in Pittsburgh to see the San Francisco Giants @ Pittsburgh Pirates. I will be on vacation from July 17th-21st. The Saturday is when we will be in Pittsburgh. We might see a couple games while we are there. We already purchased tickets for the Saturday game with fireworks. We don’t have a place lined up to stay yet as none of the hotels in the immediate area are in our price range. We can’t find anything under $150 a night that’s just too expensive for us so we will probably have to stay a little bit away from the stadium. We are already scraping trying to afford everything. I already ordered me and my dads hats they should be here by Saturday. I get paid tonight so this weekend we will have to look for an affordable hotel that won’t break the bank. I bought tickets, parking pass and hats so hopefully my parents can help a little bit with the hotel. They want to stay at an AirBNB but I said no because it’s not vacation if you don’t stay in a hotel. I love hotels because you get free unlimited bars of soap and it always has that nice hotel scent in a hotel which I love. I told them if I was paying for any part of it we were going to stay in a hotel. I hate cities but unfortunately every MLB park is in a major city. My goal is to eventually visit all of them or at least see every team play.
Forget the happy wife, happy life lie. Needs to be "happy spouse, happy house".
