US Open

Today Gabe and I were able to go to the Arthur Ashe Stadium to watch the day matches. What a fantastic time! Crystal and Bryan joined us and they were able to share a bit of the background of each of the players and for my non tennis upbringing some of the rules to the game.

I won't write too much about it bc the pictures can do the story telling...We got there at 11 and left at 5- it was truly an experience I won't soon forget!

The entrance and Gabe and I finding our seats...



The whole gang:


Then we saw the Bryan brothers win in the doubles match- they totally did a chest pump after their win- but hey...wouldn't you?



We then saw Kim Clijsters beat out Na Li. She had retired for a few years to have a baby so when they were interviewing they made a big deal of her being a working mom and that the baby just woke up from her nap...it was pretty cute. That baby has one talented mom.




Last, but certainly not least, the big surprise of the day...Andy Murray's loss to Marin Cilij. It was a pretty intense game even though Andy (number 2 in the world) didn't play that well. I think Cilij was fun to watch and he kicked AM's butt. Cilij won the first three sets so that was the match!





Some random shots....We took a walk after-wards bc the stadium is next to the World Fair ground...does this look familiar...Men in Black??





We did some other fun things this weekend- date night at Buttermilk Chanel and picnics in the Park and a full day at the beach yesterday. The only thing is we don't have any pics...and this girl is too tired to use her words. Have a great night!
