Let's Go Mets!

For my Dad's birthday this year my Mom got him tickets to a Mets game for all of us. Which is totally awesome since we reaped the benefits of this gift. I was really excited about going to a game at Citifield, not because I'm a Met's fan (don't be crazy) but because there is nothing like a baseball game. Baseball is hands down my favorite sport and hence my favorite sporting event to go to. I do love me a good Yankee game but I'm not a Met hater so I'll partake in a good Mets game. Plus it doesn't hurt that it's only 20 minutes away from my parents house.

Unfortunately Mother Nature was not on our side the day of the game. Thankfully the heavy rain passed earlier in the day but it was misting quite a bit early on in the game. Once we settled in, got our (delicious) pretzel and $8.00 beers we were good to go. Our seats were actually pretty good too. We were in between home and third but closer to the home plate side but up a little bit, but still overall pretty good seats. 

Finally what I'd been waiting for, dinner. With plenty of food options in the stadium there were no storage of places to pick from. I made my family walk all the way to center field to check out the premium food options out there. Unfortunately like every other Shake Shack in the this city there was an enormous line for that, so that option was out. Mike and Dad went with Blue Smoke, a Kanas City rib joint, Mom went with the pizza and I went with Taco's. 

Not going to lie all of us were less than impressed with the food but the beer was still quite good at it's premium price! You get the idea of the line at Shack Shack in the picture below. It would have been a cool area out there to hang out in if the weather hadn't been so crummy but at least it was't pouring us. 

Even though it rained on us and sadly The Mets lost the game, we still had a fantastic time. It really is a beautiful stadium and fun place to go. I'd love to go back and catch another game, hopefully in better weather next time! Or of course there's always a Yankee game. 

Yea that's totally a White Castle sign, which we totally stopped at on our drive home. I don't think Mike really believed my Dad when he said we were going to stop there since we were all starving by that point. My three tiny tacos def did not fill me up. I think Mike actually got scared when my Dad ordered 14 hamburgers, yes 14. But they're sto tiny. We totally dived right in and all devoured 2 each in the car on the way home and they were delicious. The ultimate night cap to any fun evening!!!
