Olivia got to see her first baseball game today. We went to Nationals Park in Washington, DC to see the Nationals play the Atlanta Braves. She loved the stadium and since she was one of the first 5000 kids to enter the stadium, the Nationals gave her a free "screech" mascot. She thought that was great! The weather, for the most part, today was fantastic! We took the Metrorail Green Line (Olivia loves riding the Metro) from the Greenbelt Station down to the park and got off at the Navy Yard Station and walked a short distance down Half Street to the stadium. We sat in section 228, row H, seats 2,3 and 4. The view was spectacular! She thought the race of the Presidents was great fun! Abe Lincoln won this time! Olivia also enjoyed playing in the maze/jungle gym play area that is there at the park. The fun was cut a little short by a rain storm that came through at the top of the ninth so we left early. Olivia got to see three home runs hit by the Nationals today! :-) Unfortunately, after leading most of the game, the Nationals lost to the Braves 6 to 3 in the 10th inning. Still it was a great day, a great game and a great time together as a family! :-)
