Parents vs Kids
The kids had a dodgeball birthday party today and there was a parents vs kids match. We were vastly outnumbered, but we prevailed...

Got Fun?
What could be more fun than a big ol' roll of bubble wrap?
Someone at the office is going to have a heckuva weekend me thinks.

RVing to Milwaukee
Six friends were taking an RV trip over the Independence Day weekend to Milwaukee for a concert and asked if I wanted to go. Nah, I said. But then I checked the Milwaukee Brewers schedule, noticed that they'd be in town the same night as the concert, and decided to join them. I doubted there would be another opportunity like this for me to see Miller Park. And I'm glad I went, as it turned into a decent little adventure.
The first leg of the trip, we stopped at a couple wineries in Missouri, and stayed overnight at a Springfield, Illinois campground. The second leg got us all the way to Milwaukee, but we were running so behind that I got dropped off by the RV in front of the stadium just in time for the game. The RV then proceeded to the RV park to "connect" before everybody caught a shuttle to the concert.
While some may question making such a trip for a ballgame, I can say unequivocally that I have no regrets. Not only is Miller Park a beautiful ballpark, it was a great game, won by Prince Fielder in the bottom of the ninth with a game-winning walk-off RBI-single. Good stuff.
I caught a taxi back to the RV once the game was over, with a few hours to myself before everyone else returned from the concert. The next morning we packed up and hit the road for home (so yes, a very quick visit).
You can see a few pictures from the trip in the album, or if you'd like to see more pictures of the ballpark, you can find them in the picasa album.
