The McMahon Family

Nicki and I decided that we needed to go to Wrigley one more time and this time we needed to experience the bleacher seats. We also decided since it was a day game we would take the train. The experience did not disappoint! I could do without the train experience, but the bleachers were the best! There is not a bad seat in the whole section. We finally decided on seats right at the basket in right center.

Unlike the April trip, this day was extremely hot. I mean sweat in all places of my body. All places.

It’s the ivy!!!!

Just us shagging balls in the outfield during batting practice.

And turns out, we ARE hat people!

And had a little time to kill before catching the train home.

Way more pics are here!

Sometimes it’s just fun to document our days with our boys…who are growing up way too fast.

Growing up in Georgia meant that we traveled to Illinois numerous times for holidays. Those trips are some of the fondest memories I have of growing up. We’d take the seats out of a van and create a large bed in the back. I can still remember the soothing feeling of sleeping while traveling. We would play the alphabet game, request truckers to honk and pass the See Rock City and See Ruby Falls signs along the way. We never stopped to see either. So Nicki and I decided that on our way home, we were going to stop and see this time! Unfortunately, Ruby Falls didn’t work out, but Rock City did!

For Mom’s 70th birthday Tara, Nicki and I decided to surprise Mom with a trip away. She had a planned trip to Tara’s so Nicki and I headed out the day before her and met her at Tara’s. She was very surprised to see us down there! That’s when we informed her that we were taking her to the Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. On the drive from Georgia to North Carolina, we drove along the Nantahala River. Growing up, our youth group took river rafting trips here. Tara and I both white river rafted down this river!

Heading out!

Found a fun local pizza bar for lunch!

Views of the south are so great.

Had to stop for a pic with this chopper.

Margarita pitchers!

Wine tasting. Even I participated!

We stopped some random lady to take this pic…it was way more complicated than we had anticipated! But we did get our picture.

All of the pics with captions to explain the trip are here.
