Hawks Beat the Celtics!


Last Monday night we went to Atlanta to see the Celtics play the Hawks. We got really cheap tickets and decided at the last minute to go. It was me, Kayla, Jonni, Tim, and Samistheman. We found out on the drive down there that Tim is a "paper pooper!!" No skids! Haa Haa! Sorry Tim, I had to share. I got to ride the Marta for the first time, which was fun. It was a great game, and surprise surprise, Hawks won! Apparently they won lastnight too! Talk about an upset! I was cheering for the Celtics, but Jonni was going for the Hawks because he always goes for the underdog. I brought my binoculars, and I saw Dominique Wilkins (haa haa...I originally put "Hawkins"...doofus), and I was so excited! I had his basketball card when I was little. It's funny how the players just seem like a bunch of normal guys playin some ball when you watch the game live at the stadium. Without all the special effects, they don't seem like such superheros. And they get paid millions of dollars to play basketball...amazing. When it was all said and done, we got into bed at 2 a.m. and had to get up for work the next morning...but it was well worth it!

We call those nose-bleed seats! I remember having some like those at the Boston Gardens years ago - Unfortunately, you were watching Boston lose this time...

Looks like lots of fun - wish we were there with you!
Love, Pops and Mama

I don't think Jonni was going for the Hawks, he was more likely just rooting against the "BOSTON" Celtics!
