Take me out to the ballgame...

Baseball is my second favorite sport. Football being first, of course, like any good Southern girl. I jump at any chance to attend a sporting event, so when my friends decided to plan a Braves game, I was all for it!  
I thought we were planning a Friday night game and I could stay the weekend with Jess since she lives in the ATL. But, of course that would be too normal. Instead it was a Thursday night game, because it was Freddie Freeman bobble head night. I mean, who doesn't want a Freddie bobble head?! I still don't have one because if you arrive to a game in the bottom of the 5th, chances are you aren't one of the first 20,000 fans.

You see, I live about 2 hours away from Atlanta, give or take a little bit. I don't get off work until 5:30pm, and the game started at 7pm. At the last minute, I actually managed to get off a little early so I could be on time for the game, but I had a few challenges getting out of town. Something happened with my car insurance and I had to go by the insurance office and get it straightened out. That resulted in me not being able to leave until about 6pm.
I can't make this stuff up. Only I could manage to get off work early and still leave town later that I would have in the beginning.

Once we finally got the game and the boys stopped giving us heck about being so late, we had a fabulous time! The Bravos won 11-3 over the Bluejays. Finally, they actually played a good game!
Jess and I got to spend a little BFF one-on-one time at Steak 'N Shake after the game and that was much needed! After we finished our late night dinner, we headed back to her place and I then headed home.
It was about 2:30 when I finally pulled into my driveway. I did have to stop once for caffeine, and I also turned up the radio as loud as I could possibly stand for a few minutes, but I think it was totally worth being tired  exhausted today. I'm not going to be young forever, so why not be crazy and spontaneous since I'm still young and single?!

Have you ever been on any crazy, spontaneous trips?

Happy Friday!!
