Atlanta, 2019.

My son and I were gifted tickets to see the Atlanta Braves on July 20th.  I decided to upload the pics as part of a blog, broken down into three groups -- the stadium tour, downtown images taken by Nathan, and then the game.

Here's part 1 - the Battery and around the ballpark, and then the ballpark tour.  Click/tap on each to enlarge.  Some images are captioned.

There are a few I want to post as standalone....

This is the view from the Braves' dugout.

This is the softest grass I have ever felt. It's real grass -- "Seashore Paspalum, Platinum TE"

Nathan wanted to go into downtown Atlanta to see the sights.  He handled the camera while I drove.  These are a selection of the pictures he took.  Again, click/tap on each to enlarge.

Finally, there was a baseball game, in which the Washington Nationals defeated the Braves by a score of 5-3.  The key highlight was a home run by Brian McCann into the Chop House in the 7th inning.  These pics are both from the "good" camera and my phone.  Nathan took nearly all of these pics.   Again, click/tap to make 'em bigger.

It was a wonderful experience, one that we wouldn't have been able to have had it not been for this friend.  I spent more money than I should have, but as someone once said, money can be earned back, but time... can't.
