Our Sixth Ballpark-Miller Park

Miller Park is special to me. It's the home of the Brewers. With my maiden name being Brewer, it just felt like home. :-) We took a tour of Miller Park and had lunch, overlooking the field. We got to see the visitors locker room, dugout, press box and bullpen. It was one of the best tours we've done. Then, we tried out a couple cheese stores. My daughter got a cheese hat at the Cheese Castle.

Our Fifth Ballpark-Wrigley Field

Our next stop in Chicago was WRIGLEY Field!!! Yes, it was so exciting to be there, but sorry Wrigley....Fenway is still my favorite. The full moon over Lake Michigan was a beautiful backdrop for the ivy covered walls of Wrigley Field. We went to a Cubs/Marlins game at Wrigley. It was a chilly July night in The Windy City. They were handing out Geovany Soto bobbleheads that night. Another bobblehead to add to my collection...

Our Fourth Ballpark-U.S. Cellular Field

Our fourth ballpark was on a road trip with stops in Louisville, Ky, Chicago, IL, and Milwaukee, WI. Our first stop on this trip was the Louisville Slugger Museum. Then we stopped in Chicago, at U.S. Cellular Field-home of the White Sox. This is the only park that we didn't see a game or take a tour. Instead, we were lucky enough to have a lady from the office come down to get us and take us in the elevator to the team store. She let us go down in the stands and even took pictures for us. They were very accommodating.

Our Third Ballpark (and favorite)-Fenway!

We were lucky enough to spend the fourth of July in Boston in 2010. The Boston Pops, on Independence Day, are something to check off a bucket list.....but let's talk about our MLB park bucket list. We had the awesome experience of watching batting practice from the Green Monster at Fenway. It was an experience that I'll remember for the rest of my life. My daughter, 7 years old at the time, spent her time ducking behind the wall so she wouldn't get hit with a baseball.

Our Second Ballpark-Turner Field

Since we live in the Atlanta suburbs, Turner Field is the MLB ballpark we visit the most. My daughter's first Braves game was in 2008. She was 5 years old.
