The excitement and anxiousness I felt leaving work Wednesday evening was comparable to a 10 year old preparing for Christmas Day, on Christmas Eve. My enthusiasm was that high!
Thursday morning at 7:30 AM, July 28th, 2016, I set out for the 11+ hour drive to Macon (I stayed with family there). The trip was a guys weekend with just me and my two boys. They weren’t as excited as I was.
I arrived in Macon around 9:00 PM. I purposefully kept away form passing Turner Field. I didn’t want to spoil my “surprise”.
Friday was the day before the game and I spent it with my extended family enjoying some of what Macon had to offer.
