Sir Clinksalot Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 We had been always talking about taking the kids to a Dodger game but never had gotten around to it until yesterday. We left for the stadium around 10:45 and got there by 12:15 or so. Gotta love LA traffic. Our original seats were sort of high up, so Gregg decided we should try to upgrade them. A few minutes later, we had tickets in a great spot, orange section for those of you that have been there. We were in the shade the whole time and there was a nice breeze so it was not too miserable. The game was good, the Dodgers lost 7-5(shocker!). Amanda and Josh got to have their first Dodger Dog and loved it. I think they also managed to have nachos, peanuts and pretzels throughout the game also. After the game we met up with Justin and his girlfriend and went down to 3rd St. in Santa Monica. It had been about 10 years since Gregg and I went there and I had forgot how many freaks are there!! We decided to go to Hooters for dinner. Let me tell you, this place is not as bad as I had thought it would be. Sure the waitresses wear skimpy outfits, but it was a fun atmosphere and the I think we all had a fun time. The only downfall was that you sit on like barstools and they were not real comfy. The bathroom was in the basement and kinda freaky looking. Josh loved the attention he got when he had his picture taken with the Hooters chicks. The food was good, I would definitely go back. After all this excitement at Hooters , we walked down 3rd St some more, watched some of the freaky performers they have, went through the mall, and out to walk to the pier. We could see the coaster as we were walking and decided to get that credit. It was freaking cold! If you ever go to the beach at night, take a jacket and wear pants! We reluctantly paid the $4.50 :shock: each to ride the coaster. What a joke! It was not a terrible coaster by any means, however it was not that thrilling either. For $4.50 you get to ride it twice. I think I laughed the whole time. We got off the ride, more freezing than before and headed back to 3rd St. We said our goodbyes to Justin and went through the scary parking structure to leave. We got home and we were all pooped. It was a really fun day. Here are some pictures to share: Justin in the mall SMURRF! It should be blue. Josh finally did SLAYER! Amanda and I on the ride...I look SO thrilled! Justin and I in line for the great coaster, freezing. Had to ride to get another credit.. Yay, Pacific Park They are opening a Bubba Gumps, the sign says Summer 2005 but didn't look ready to us. Some wacky performer who was tossing bowls and stuff... We even got the Hooters girls to do SLAYER! Josh was the stud of the evening and made some new friends. Hooters Girls doing the YMCA on the barstools.. Justin and our waitresses Justin was thirsty! Kristi happy to be at Hooters Justin got a cool hat for his birthday...SLAYER! Penguins rock! SLAYER!!!!!!!! Kristi and Josh Gregg, Amanda and Josh Dodgervision Go Dodgers! Dodger Stadium
Justin Adams Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 NICE! Great shots, the Dodger game was awesome, Hooters rocked and West Coaster is the BEST COASTER. Seriously though, thank you guys again for hanging out with us, we both had a great time. I'll make sure to get my photos up for everyone to check out after I get home. Thanks for my hat too, I'll make sure to wear it in September. SLAYER!
crispy Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 As a baseball and coaster fan, and a woman lovin man, that is a great trip report. As a Giants fan, yeah, boo Dodgers, Go Giants I miss Tommy Lasorda
Hattuchili Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 Hey Kristi, what a great TR! The pictures are so good! It looks like you have had a perfect day! I really like the picture with Josh in the middle of the waitress, he looks so cute! However, can not wait to see more like this TR´s! --Sören p.s. This TR looks a little bit like my DR´s!
AllisonY2K Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 I had forgot how many freaks are there hey now. some of us are proud of that title. looks like you all had fun. the seat upgrade at the stadium was smart...and at a great height to see all the action. Hooters looked like fun. Kind of interesting that it seemed like you went from a potentially hot day at the stadium to chilly down at the pier. Guess CA weather is funny like that. Anyway, good TR, good pictures, and I'm glad you all had a fun time!
Coaster Palooza Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 Great Report! Nice Pics. I was glad to see some shots of a ballpark, and Hooters' Girls. We have to ride the West Roller Coaster at some point.
Mr.Six Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Looks like you guys had fun, no doubt Josh did Pretty lucky kid. Michael"More Hooter pics would have been great!"Thomas
PhishyBrewer Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Wow! What a great "SLAYER!" weekend. I had know idea Josh was such a pimp Still thinking about our trip last week. Miss you guys!
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 4, 2005 Author Posted July 4, 2005 Josh was quite the stud and enjoyed every minute of it! Look at that smile on his face! Wally, it was a SLAYER! good time, wish you were with us!!!
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 4, 2005 Author Posted July 4, 2005 I will re-size and put the rest of the pics up on our photo site tomorrow. They include more Dodgers and Hooters.
PhishyBrewer Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 ^Josh may be a legend... but he is my personal hero!
WalrusMan Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Down with the dreaded Dodgers, Go Giants! And Hooters! Always wondered about that Pacific Park place.....
Coasters 4 ever Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Why do you all like the Giants or Dodgers!? Everyone knows the Yankees are the best! They're just in a slump, a really long slump...
PhishyBrewer Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Go Sacramento River Cats! PLC Champs 2 years in a row and the A's AAA team
disneygurlz2s Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Loved the picture of Josh with the Hooters girls.... my husband would be jealous. I still think Dodger stadium is one of the best looking ballparks. I thought CA was sunny and warm, so why were you freezing at the beach? Shari
WalrusMan Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Jeez, can the A's ever fill up their stadium? The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim....wow.....lol And to the most beautiful ballpark, The former Bell, now known as SBC Park.
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 6, 2005 Author Posted July 6, 2005 Screw the Giants. We actually really wanted to go to an Angels game (a team that can actually win a few games) but they were gone this past weekend. Plus it's kinda far to the "Big A". (I refuse to call it that other name) Back to the day, thanks for all of the nice comments. I didn't get around to re-sizing the rest of the pics, maybe tomorrow.
crispy Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Why not the Yankee's first, the Yankee's suck, Second, the Giants and the Dodgers have one of the best rivaleries in the majors, and its all in good fun, i havn't met anyone yet who has taken it to seriously I really do miss booing Tommy Lasorda Dodgers Suck, and so does thier ball park
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 6, 2005 Author Posted July 6, 2005 ^ Because I don't remember the last good Dodgers / Yankees series. And my other team, the Angels can handle the Yankees. I tell you what, I wouldn't hate the Giants as much as I do if it weren't for Barry Bonds.
crispy Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 he's 40 years old, and probably not playing this year, he won't be around much longer he's a jerk, but not nearly as much of a jerk as Terrel Owens
