Seattle

Mariners Game

September 21st, 2012

Mariners vs Rangers

 

Bill and I had been planning this trip since June.  Bill's father just recently within the last six months got diagnosed with Lou Gehrigs disease.  It became apparent that we needed and wanted to go on a family trip.  We thought of cruises but it wouldn't be until next year and that was and is too long of a wait.  Henry has been going down hill faster then I would have imagined.  So while Bill and I were having dinner at a local bar watching a baseball game it came to me.  A Mariners Game!!!  We decided that we would surprise them with the entire trip.  Hotel, Game, Train Ride.  All they knew was the fact that they needed to pack for 2 nights and take us out to Portland.
