5. What fun thing have you done so far this summer?
I was in Switzerland to visit my sister & her family. Also, I went to Baltimore for a weekend with my husband & some friends. We had tickets to a ball game. OMG it was torture. The game went extra innings! They finally took pity on me and we left after 12 and half innings even though the game wasn't over yet. The only saving grace was I had access to the Club level so I was able to get into the air conditioning. The rest of the weekend was great.
As you walked into the stadium they handed everyone a box about 12x10 inches. It was a mini copy of the statue they were dedicating that day. So now there are 43,000 people walking around with this rather cumbersome box. Why don't they give that stuff to you as you leave? I said what's this and the guy barked -keep moving, everyone gets one. I said but I don't want it. By then I was swept up into the forward movement of the crowd so I was stuck with it. I left it behind on my seat when we finally got out of there. I imagine someone was thrilled to get an extra one. I'm sure they'll be valuable someday since they only gave out 43,000 of them.
