Good day once again, friends and family for an update to our blog!
Elaine & I decided to go and watch the Toronto Blue Jays vs the New York Yankees this past weekend, and we had a real surprise.
Elaine had booked a surprise hotel stay for me, as I have been a bit stressed with work and I needed a break.
Anyway, the hotel was booked and off we went.
The tickets we had were 'OK' tickets for the games, which I purchased several months ago, and Elaine had never been to a baseball game before.
Anyway, while we were walking around the Rogers Centre where the game was being played, we walked passed the VIP section (you cannot gain entry to this section unless you are a season ticket holder. $4,000 per seat per season by the way is the cost!!!) and the lady at the gate noticed we were looking in. She beckoned us over and asked if we wanted a look around.
'Sure!' We both said! So this place was nnnnnnniiiiiiicccccceeeeee, with leather seating and booths and waitress service for food, and all this stuff. We decided to leave once we looked around, and the lady at the gate said 'You can stay for free, but don't tell your friends!!!'
'Er.....OK then!!' We said!!! WOW!!! We were giggling like two little kids when we allowed to stay in the VIP section to watch the game!
Check out some pictures below, people:
Here is Elaine, with the Blue Jays in the background practicing before the game:
And look at 'Dame' Elaine here sipping on a beverage while the game is in play:
And finally, a picture of the game itself:
You want to know the score don't you?
Well, sadly we did not bring the Jays much luck, they lost 6-4 to the Yankees, who are the best team in baseball..
However, they played again the following day and the Jays thrashed the Yanks....wait for it.....
14 - 8!!!
So....this is a BIG THANK YOU to Ms M.....(you know who you are!!!) to make our day at the Rogers Centre (the Blue Jays home ground) a special one!!
See you soon!
