	Usually I put the game story in a trip to the ball park, but this was a Padre - Pirate game and in reality we went to see the stadium more than the Padre's.  It started with dinner on 5th Ave. which is a great street in downtown next to the stadium.  they had many restaurants and we picked the wrong one, a place called "dicks" which describes the workers there.  they are supposed to be funny by insulting the guests but after a while our waiter knew they we weren't amused.  At least they had 32 ounce beers on ice.
	The ballpark is relatively knew and beautiful, located in the downtown area.  We took a trolley to the game which was interesting but not had its flaws.  We had good seats for $10 each on stubhub, but the Padres got off to a terrible start, down 4-0 after one.  that's about the last thing I remember about the game.  It was our last night and we had to get up early for our flight so we left after six.  After saying our goodbyes to Trish, Kath, and Theo, we sadly ended our great trip to PB, SD.
