California: Day 2. (July 16th, 2010) Part 3.

The game was about to start, so we headed to our spectacular seats(right behind first base).
We all enjoyed the pre game entertainment.
Andy Bell from Nitro Circus threw the 'First Pitch'.
Don't let the 'Iced Tea' confuse you. It doesn't taste good, it is actually ICED tea. Not good at all.
First home run of the game after being down by one.
Another home run, our section was filled with Padre fans... good atmosphere. 
The DiamondBacks didn't like the call.
This guy took it to the next level.
Another home run!
One inning left... Padres up by ten... let's just say... they got it in the bag.

Fireworks! WE WIN!

Bench players rush to the field with excitement.


High fives all around.

Final score! 

California: Day 2. (July 16th, 2010) Part 2.

After batting practice, we got another surprise. The man on the left (forget his name) gave us the V.I.P treatment, thanks to my PGA professional uncle. We were taken to the luxury 'area'. This is the 'lounging' area where you can watch the game with big screen TV's... AND... all you can eat desserts, and candy all for $Free.99.




This is a restaurant inside the luxury 'area'.

Retro Jersey... DOPE.

After getting the 'grand ' tour. We began to experience the typical baseball environment.

We all got Padre Jersey's for free from the very nice man.

My aunty works for a company that has there own box seating, so we kicked it there for a bit.

This is me. Getting psyched for the game.
Pre-game meal. Hot dogs were really good.

It was time.

California: Day 2. (July 16th, 2010) Part 1.

We spent the early part of the day, hanging out around my Aunties house in SanDiego. I sat on the deck editing pictures for the blog and enjoying a bagel in the sun.
After I finished the first 'California update', I skated down the street(5 minutes) to the community outdoor leisure center. My family was swimming in the pool, so I joined them. On the way back to the house, It was dope... I got to skate down this very steep hill, super fun. 

This is my Aunty and Uncle's house, it's in a gated community over looking the charger stadium. Really nice area, walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants.

My Uncle had planned a surprise for us, he got us tickets to the Padre Game at Petco Park. So, we headed to downtown area. We walked from the Convention Center(we parked underground there)... This is where Comic Con was taken place a couple of days later!
This is a Metro Rail. I wish we had one of these things in Saskatoon.
We arrived at Petco Park! A very nice stadium, new home to the SanDiego Padres.

Our Uncle(being a PGA golf pro) knows a lot of people, let's just say that he has connections. We got to view the Padre batting practice, and get the V.I.P. experience. 
p.s. that 'green F' stands for field.
Down through the tunnel, onto the field.
They played the DiamondBacks from Arizona, that guy with the bat has a super dope last name.
