February 23, 2013. Spring Training

Spring training games started early this year, on February 23rd to be exact. It would have been great to see the Jays opening game but it was a couple of hours away in Lakeland against the Tigers. However, the Orioles opened their Spring Training season in Sarasota against the Twins and so we got a couple of great seats for that game. Fortunately they were in the shade because it turned out to be a hot 82 degree afternoon.

It was a great game with the home team Orioles coming out on top. We saw a couple of home runs and a few great plays in the field, plus some good pitching. It was a great afternoon. After the game we went to the box office and picked up tickets for a few more games.

On Wednesday we are going to the Pink concert in Tampa. On Friday we head for Dunedin where we will take in a few Jays games. It has been absolutely wonderful staying with our friend here in Venice. We have had many gold star days.
