I came back from Arizona to cold and windy Chicago without getting a sunburn (okay, somehow I did manage to burn only lips), and I chalk that up as a win for me.
My father and I got to enjoy four games in three days, see three different stadiums and see the A's three times. We jogged around Mesa, tested different fares and brews at each park and scrambled to keep ourselves as hydrated as possible (in other words, ran to the bathroom about every ten minutes because we kept managing to over-hydrate ourselves on some days, because, as native New Englanders, we aren't used to such an accessible plethora of drinking fountains and other sources of free water constantly at our fingertips).
