We have tickets to see two games at Dolphins Stadium in Miami: the Marlins vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks on August 9th, and the Marlins vs. the San Francisco Giants on August 13th. We are finalizing our vacation plans and have decided to go to Florida this year.

This will be the 16th Major League stadium we have attended a game at in 16 years. Our son is 16, and going on vacation every summer to a different city with a Major League team has become a family tradition for us. We are so excited about this upcoming trip!

Last year we went to Boston, and to New York City. And Boston FINALLY won the World Series last year! We wore Boston Red Sox shirts to Yankee stadium when we were in New York, even though the Yankees were playing out of town that week. We wanted to tour the stadium, but we didn't get to. They told us they stopped giving stadium tours after 9-11. We think it's just because we were wearing Red Sox shirts! We did get to attend a Mets game at Shea stadium last year though, as well as a couple of Red Sox games at Fenway Park in Boston. We had been to Fenway Park before, so Shea Stadium was the "new" one we went to last year.

Unfortunately, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays aren't playing at home during the time we will be in Florida, or we would be attending a game there, too. Oh, well---it will just give us an excuse to return to Florida some time in the future.....
