Rays Go To the WORLD SERIES...and so did we!

The Tampa Bay Rays made their first trip EVER to the World Series and we decided to take advantage of a "once in a lifetime" opportunity and buy tickets to one of the games. We went to Game 2 here in St. Petersburg, which they won! Being there was really one of the neatest experiences ever. The game and crowd was great and the pre-game media and batting practice was neat too. Here are some of the pictures from the night...

Our seats were kind of high, but we could see everything.

The pre-game honor guard is shown here. The Los Lonely Boys sang the Star Spangled Banner and General Petraeus threw the ceremonial first pitch.

Happy Birthday Todd and Rose!

Monday, 10/20, was Todd and his Mom's Birthday! We went to our favorite restaurant, Bonefish Grill, which is the tradition for their birthday celebration. We had a very nice evening and the birthday boy and girl seemed to have a good time. Here are some pictures of our evening. Happy Birthday to you both!

Happy Birthday Todd and Rose!

Cheer on the Tampa Bay Rays!!

We don't have any pictures, but wanted to announce how excited everyone here in Tampa is about the the Rays advancing in the playoffs. They are currently 1-1 in the series vs. Boston and we are hoping they advance to the World Series! We will keep you updated....

Everything else here is going well. We are having a very busy fall and can't wait for some cooler weather :) Todd has just completed his new album, which should be available before the end of the year.

Take care and GO RAYS!!!
