Hanging out with Angels

no not heavenly Angels but the Los Angeles Angels for their spring training gig in Tempe, Arizona.



When we were deciding what to do between our Christmas tree deal and going back to Gunnison, Colorado for the summer, I came upon this ad looking for workampers for spring training. Mr Doodles and I were considering going back to Tucson, AZ anyway so when I mentioned this Mr didn't hesitate, he said yes. Since he is not a baseball fan I did remind him that the Angels are a baseball team and not a hockey team. And his comment was why not try something different..........what the trees weren't different enough for ya???

We will arrive in Mesa, Az which is next door town to Tempe (pronounced tempee)
we should arrive this weekend. Following week we have a class to attend and an orientation a few days later. Then batter up on February 25th when the Angeles play the Chicago White Sox............oh wait spose President Obama will be there......nah they'll probably save his throwing out the first pitch for opening day for his beloved White Sox.

So stay tuna'd........................hope they let me take photos.

I was close. It's just the Angels instead of the Diamondbacks. Ooh, y'all have a great time. I guess we'll pull for the Angels as well as the Braves this year.
