Braves Trip Part 2

Today we've been on a ballpark tour. We learned some interesting facts about Turner Field and had several photo ops to take advantage of during the tour.


This was where the Braves hold press conferences to announce trades and where the media conducts interviews after the games. Jay and Pa were available for questions, but I don't think they had to field very many.
This picture was taken from the Braves dugout. We are leaning up against the rails the players lean over to watch the game.
Here is Granny posing with the Atlanta skyline in the background.
This 42 foot Coke bottle (it's 42 feet in honor of Jackie Robinson) is made out of all baseball stuff - look closely and you can see bases at the bottom, then balls, gloves, bats, jersey's, etc. If the Braves get a home run or win the game it shoots out fireworks.
Pa and I were practicing catching fly balls in the same spot Hank Aaron hit his 715 record breaking home run.


Tracie - I will work on getting the picture you requested tonight at the game. Check back for Braves Trip Part 3 after the game tonight or sometime tomorrow.
