Go Pirates, Go Pirates, Go.............oh nevermind!

(remember we are still in August of 2011!) So as I mentioned in my Father's Day post I bought my Dad tickets to a Pirates game so the whole family could go. The main reason my Dad wanted tickets was so he could sit in the "all you can eat" section. Anyone that knows my Father knows that PNC Park lost some serious money that day!
I doubt many outside of Pittsburgh payed much attention but last year the Pirates actually started out the season REALLY well! It was looking like we might actually finished above .500 for the first time in 18 years! Of course our beloved Pirates couldn't quite keep that going and our tickets landed us there right around the time the Pirates started sliding....reallllllllllllllly bad. I forget the exact score of the game we saw but it was something like 7-3 (not in our favor).
Losing aside, we did have a really nice time. It was Kris's first time in PNC Park and Kris and I combined almost kept up with my father's eating. We did keep track and I believe Kris and I finished only 2 or 3 food items behind my Dad.


That's where you get your "all you can eat" wristbands
