This year I decided I want to go to another Major League Baseball
️ 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.
Next year I want to plan everything better. Just this year I had everything planned but I couldn’t get dad to want to drive in any of the cities I chose like Atlanta or anything because I really wanted to go south instead of north. I had picked the week specifically for the Diamondbacks @ Braves game as I love the Diamondbacks they are fourth on my list of top 5 or for the Brewers @ Phillies game. But he said no Atlanta either wouldn’t put up with the traffic. Understandable I guess but a huge disappointment to me but I guess I should have asked first and at least I’ll still get to watch baseball. The Pirates are my 5th favorite team. And on my part I will never step foot on a plane so everything we do has to involve driving. You will not find me near an airplane unless it’s the abandoned one that my company owns or a boneyard of them. And to be clear I’m not upset that he didn’t want to go where I had planned and made my schedule around. He is a truck driver and has been to every major city in the lower 48 states so he knows his way around and the good and bad cities. He has been trucking since 1981. You never know when it comes time to go to San Diego to see my Padres play I might tough up and go on a plane lol.
Along with the MLB game we might hit up some minor league baseball parks as well and we are going to go to Tazewell and Bluefield Virginia the area we are originally from to see my dads side of the family.
