Day 88: A Night With The A's

The military treats us pretty well around here. 

Every so often, we score free tickets from Operation Care and Comfort, a nonprofit event ticket coordinator group for military families. They announce an event (usually day of or the day before) that they have a block of tickets for, you email saying you want a few of them, and you get them emailed for free. 

And who doesn't like free?

We found out yesterday that OCC was handing out free A's tickets for tonight's game. 

Of course they're handing out free tickets. The A's can't fill the stadium to save their literal lives, even though they're in pretty decent playoff contention. 

And it just so happens that the good ol' Seattle Mariners are in town, so we jumped at the chance to get tickets to the game. Brad got off work early, we packed the kids in the car and took the hour drive to sketchy ass super classy city of Oakland. 

But before baseball, hockey, because Camden was with us of course, and the Bay Area's largest hockey store is a mile away from the stadium.

The game was great, especially since it was free. The Mariners won in dominant fashion, we had the entire upper deck section to ourselves, and had (almost) the best cheesesteak this side of Philadephia. 

Almost. It is Oakland after all.
