Last weekend Brandon and I went to our first professional soccer game accompanied by the Johnson's part II. The game was at the Rose Bowl and so we went early to spend some time in Old Town Pasadena.
The day was super fun and it was started off by learning that the Johnson's are having a baby BOY! We are so excited for them and a can't wait to meet their son come January.
In Old Town we hit up a pool hall and played three games of pool. None of us had played pool in a while and Natalie and I aren't exactly "learned" players. But we love games so we enjoyed it.
After some walking around we ate dinner at 'Bar Celona." Since the Galaxy was playing Barcelona, we kept with the theme of the soccer game and ate some quality Tappas.
The soccer game was great! Got to watch some excellent soccer players such as Beckham, Donovan, Henry, and Messi. We saw Beckham score a goal by a penalty kick but Barcelona won 2 to 1. The stadium was almost full! There were 94,000 people there and it was kind of insane. Soccer fans are fun because they love the game and are not shy to cheer and support their favorite team. We even saw a Chivas fan get three bottles of beer thrown at him by some Messi fans for starting trouble. We all really enjoyed the game and energy and I personally love how soccer games are 90 minutes and they never stop the clock. I like sporting games fine, but I also like to know when they will end.
After the game, those 94,000 people got in line to wait for the exact same shuttle as us! So, we waited in a two hour line but we made the best of it by playing Scramble on Eric's iphone. A very tricky and addicting game.
Another great day filled with fun memories. Brandon and I feel very lucky that we get to do so many fun activities.
