Back from Ohio

This past weekend was spent in Columbus, OH, at the Ohio Cup vintage base ball festival. Mark's brother Paul came along for the ride (literally) and flew into St Louis on Friday. He and Mark went to Goodwill and picked up some pants for him, then I converted them to knickers before we left. We drove to Ohio on Friday and the games were on Saturday and Sunday. Here are some pictures of us, taken by people at the Ohio Cup.



I am, hopefully obviously, the one in the dress. In the first pic Mark is walking alongside me and Paul is on the left in the green shirt (this was after the potluck on Saturday night). In the second picture Mark is the one in the front row without a bat and Paul is standing behind Mark.

On Friday night, a couple of the guys had eaten at Cheeseburger in Paradise and raved about the chocolate nachos. So Saturday night we had a team dinner there (really just dessert) after the annual potluck at the fields. And yes, the chocolate nachos were really good!! I highly recommend them! (It's not tortilla chips like regular nachos.)

After this weekend, I'm about "sports-ed" out. The guys played base ball all day and then went back to the hotel to watch Sportscenter every night! And pretty much all of their conversations revolved around sports. Unfortunately for me football season just started. ;) Overall it was a great weekend. Paul and Mark got to play base ball together, Paul was able to see our new house (and help remove a refrigerator from the basement--thanks!!!!), and we all had a lot of fun hanging out. Of course, I think we're all a little sleep deprived but hopefully we'll be able to catch up in the next couple of nights. ;)
