Last night, Sarah and I went to Camden Yards to see an Orioles game, and left Nicholas with a sitter (two of them, in fact). It was quite a bit of fun. But, for the second time, we went on a "date" to an Orioles game only to arrive and discover that we were sitting next to a couple with a little boy just a few months older than Nicholas. Sigh.
It was fun, though, because we don't really mind (at least, I didn't, and was sitting next to the people). Their son was very cute, and it was his first baseball game. Plus they were from Long Island, so we had a chat about the relative qualities of Camden Yards vs. Shea Stadium. Okay, mostly we just agreed that Camden far surpassed Shea, but whatever.
Anyway, next time we go on a date, we probably will be very closely on the lookout for small children at the next table.
Shea Stadium was a DUMP! No question about it. But it was OUR dump!
