Nashville



Today, my son Garen and I took a little road trip. He and my daughter are on Spring break from school. Marah, had to stay home and work so this trip is just Garen and I. We do this from time to time. We just pull out of the driveway and flip a coin as to which way to turn and we wind up wherever. This time we went up I 75 North of Atlanta and stopped at the museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennasaw , GA . After that we both decided to head up to Kentucky and see the grand baby. On the way we checked on minor league baseball games that were to be played this evening. Turns out that the Nashville Sounds (AAA Milwaukee Brewers farm team )had a pre season game at Greer Stadium in Nashville. When we got there we found that admission was free. It is a decent little stadium. There were about 3 people there when we got there at 5 pm, one hour before game time and by the bottom of the 6th when we left the Sounds were winning 10 to nothing and the crowd had swelled to about 80 people. I wonder how many would have been there if they had to pay to get in ? Anyway Garen got 4 foul balls and got them signed by some of the players.
We made it to Christina's late tonight and will hang out here for a while tomorrow and then who knows where. John Paul, Christina's husband will be getting home from Afghanistan on Thursday so we need to scram so they can have some time together.
