College World Series and Father's Day

We had a crazy weekend full of activities up in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area. Mark, Julia and I drove up to CB on Friday night. Julia's first road trip and first trip up to Iowa. I'm sure she'll have many more to follow. She did great on the trip up. She was awake 'til we hit St Joe then slept the rest of the way.

Saturday Mark and I headed over to Omaha for the college world series. If you don't know, this event has been in Omaha forever. I've been many times throughout the years but this was Mark's first experience. It is such a great time overall. We started off the day tailgating with a friend and coworker of mine, Jay. He has season tickets and a parking pass so we were right next to the stadium tailgating. After a few beers and a round of bean bag toss, we headed into the game. Great game between Stanford and Florida State. Very HOT though!! we definitely got some sun which i haven't seen for a year now so was happy to get some color besides pasty white. Great game turned into a blow out in the 9th inning as Stanford went on to roll up FSU but by that time we had retreated to the beer tent. We met up with a coworker of Mark's, Jeremy "Mac", and his wife Ashley. After the game, i think Mark wished we had tickets for the second game that evening but it was time to head back to my parents and see how Julia was doing.
Then came Father's Day. Mark's first and also a first for my brother in law Kurt. We finally got to meet Marissa, my sister's new baby girl (born a week after Julia). We had a great afternoon with my family and playing more bean bag toss.
