Wonderful World of Soccer Weekend!

 




What a great birthday weekend!  We celebrated by attending a game of our favorite team - Atlanta United.

We used to see one or two games a year using my son Doug's season tickets, but alas, Doug has moved to the Catskills and can no longer attend regularly.

We were able to pick up two great seats in the secondary market.  They were in a section for Delta Sky Miles members.  We had our own food services and restrooms.  We ate a delicious brisket sandwich in a dining area before the game.






We came early, so we could greet the players coming into the stadium.  Alison was near the front and could touch hands with at least a half-dozen players.  She commented good luck to them, as those players did quite well in the game, including Tyler Wolff, who helped score a decisive goal.





Yes, we saw our favorite team win, beating DC United 3 to 1!

I'm not sure if I've ever attended a game where they lost.  They might want us to attend more often!


Also, we met our working boy, Benjamin, for lunch in Macon.  He's only one week in, but he is doing very, very well.  The odds of this turning into a regular job after the internship period are very, very good.


We're proud of our team!

We're proud of our boy!

And I'm happy to have a joyous birthday weekend!


Also:  the topper is my 14-month-old granddaughter sent me some Snickerdoodle cookies (she may have had some help preparing them, but that's just a guess).  They were extra delicious.  And I got to read her a story on my birthday!

Woot!  Woot!
