Last weekend at this time, I was enjoying one of the very best trips my son and I have ever enjoyed together. The girls stayed home and we had a guy's long weekend at spring training. Thursday through Sunday watching nothing but spring baseball and....the Blue Angels.
We were in Tucson to watch the Diamondbacks and it turned out that there was a big airshow over the weekend at Davis Monthan AF Base. We got to watch the Blue Angels practice on Thursday and Friday, and fly in the show on Saturday and Sunday. They were flying right over the fields, just a few hundred feet over our heads at times, it was AWESOME! When you combine that with watching the Rangers vs. Diamondbacks, Cubs vs. White Sox, Giants vs. Rockies and Athletics vs. Diamondbacks in addition to minor league camp and a juco tournament, I don't know how you can get a better four day weekend for a baseball junkie.
My son did lend some perspective about what could have been better, though. He reminded me that it was spring break week, and there weren't many college girls in town for him to enjoy the company of. Such is life!
