Today, we headed off to attend our first Melbourne Aces 'away game series' for the 2012/13 ABL baseball season. Chris, Tracey, Nic and I embarked on an adventure full of amazing scenery, road trip games, #26 moments, road kill, food, u-turns and hilarious comments!
A few highlights...
The challenge was set for me to pick up everyone at 5:30am sharp or I had to shout everyone breakfast! So I made sure I kicked off festivities by arriving in time to send them my 'I'm here' text message at 5:26am.
I arrive to find this car parked outside the house with a huge hot dog van attached. I cracked up laughing thinking, "Wow, Chris has really committed to our hot dog dinners this time!"
Our first stop was in a town called Yarck where we grabbed a coffee at The Giddy Goat Cafe. What an amazing little cafe! We will be going back there for sure! Everything you want in a country cafe with awesome quirks and great food! Going back for a Kanive Day for sure!!!
Travelled through Yea where we started the regular 'Yay!' shout outs and where we did most of the u-turns.
Our epic I-Spy game brought the best out in all of us which was only a warm up for our loud, fight-to-the-death topics game. Let's just say Nic and Chris who teamed up have a way of making it impossible to call them 'out'. I am on to you and putting in a complaint!
Before we knew it, we were approaching Yass which brings such good memories from previous road trips with Mez!
I attended a Yassville chicken reunion and battled it out at the Ingham vs Steggles baseball championships!
We arrived in Canberra and scoped out the important things...baseball field and how close it is to where we are staying!
Spent the evening making fan signs for tonight's game! In all, a great day!!
Road kill count - 39
#26 scoreboard -17
