Back in college, a group of my girlfriends and I had a summer tradition. We were obsessive Atlanta Braves fans at the time, so we would always take a weekend trip to see a game or two. We always had a blast, and came back with tons of stories :)
Since this year marked the big 3-0 for all of us (except Erin, who got there back in December), Erin Mac suggested that we do our weekend trip again- what a great idea!! It took forever to find a date that worked for all of us (including the Braves home schedule), but we ended up going the first weekend of August. Even though most of us don't have time to keep up with "our boys" like we used to, we were still excited to get back down there.
We spent the first part of our day lounging at the pool, and enjoying being on our mini-vacation. Somehow I don't have any pics of me in a bathing suit, though... gosh, sorry ;)
We headed out for the game, and thanks to Atlanta traffic, and construction on I-85, we got there in the 4th inning!! We made the best of it, though ;) We sat on the third base line, like always, and even had the same Beer Man that we always used to have! The stadium had added a Chick-Fil-A cow (see below) who did the tomahawk chop whenever the chant was played- impressive!! :) We each wore our glittery "30" headbands, and got quite a bit of attention. Some people seemed amazed that we were all turning 30 on that very day! ;)
After the game, we hit up Rock Bottom, right beside our hotel, for a late-but-yummy dinner. We toasted to thirty, and agreed we'd do things like this more often :) I'm lucky to have such amazing friends! And aren't they gorgeous, too?! :)

Can I veto the picture of me in a bathing suit? How did you slide by without having one taken of YOU? ;)
