Daytona testing today means I am SO EXCITED about the upcoming NASCAR season. And if I don't make it to more races this year, I'm going to be upset.

I've also been debating taking the kids to a major league baseball game. We go to Carolina League games all the freaking time, but they've never been to a major league one, which is a whole 'nother experience. (seriously, cheap tickets for a major league game cost me more than the kids' season passes!) Boston is a possibility, but I really hate the actual Red Sox. I mean, I know they're our affiliate and whatever, but ugh. But Boston also has an aquarium. And we could go visit my aunt and go to Hershey midway to Boston. Both the Orioles and the Nationals are an option as well. They're both in days-driving distance. Nationals means we could make a long weekend of it and do DC stuff too. Orioles means Baltimore aquarium. And basically anywhere I go, I can orchestrate meet-ups with one of yall. What do you guys think?

Well, DC has more to do than Baltimore. But Baltimore's stuff is located all within walking distance of the ball park, while DC's is not. To Metro or not to Metro, 'tis the question.

I've been to a Nats game -- the park is nice and the food is good -- but like Oriole Park better. Also, I like AL better than NL. I don't *get* the way pinch hitting works with pitching changes; the DH may be laziness, but it's what I'm accustomed to.
