Day Two Hundred and Thirty Six

Apologies in advance, but this day calls for more than one photo!

 

We made it to Savannah, Georgia at about 3:00 pm today. 

The very first cool thing about Savannah, there's not only moss hanging from the trees, but a beautiful abundance of palms. I had no idea these things could coincide. It's a true beauty that's much different than our typical pines and firs in the Pacific Northwest.

As promised by the Angels, Kyle's hear arrived at the Sand Gnats club house before we did. Not to worry though, he was outfitted with brand new blue and orange Mets gear. Holler if you're in need of Angels 'ish, we seem to own an obscene amount for Mets. Hehe.

Grayson Historical Field is just as the name says, historical. It's large, the bleachers are older with out numbered seating, the aisles are big and the seating options are bountiful. It also comes with things we didn't have before like a sky bar, a huge screen in the outfield and tons of die hard fans. (It's so awesome it almost re-sold me on the name Grayson for one of my hopeful future sons. Alas, Kyle again reminded me how unfortunate the initials GJ would be).

Coincidentally tonight was Military appreciation night at the field. We're now only several hours from my active duty brother who is currently at Fort Bragg. I had to buy Kyle's jersey, even though he didn't play tonight. Not only did he pick MY number, 5, but the jersey is camouflage in honor of my brother. Plus it's his very first jersey as a Met! Perfection. Kyle will need to complete a physical with the Mets staff before he can play, this is standard procedure after a trade. AS of now, they've slated Kyle for the right field and designated hitter positions.

For those curious about the details and dirt on Kyle's trade, this article has been the most detailed and accurate that we've seen thus far:
