Jonathan Dickinson SP, Jupiter, FL: Sunny this morning, but really cool and windy. Larry and Janice stopped by before they left to say good bye. I’m sure we’ll run into them again in our travels. The St. Louis Cardinals do their spring training in Jupiter. So we headed out for the Cardinals/Braves game. I used to live in Atlanta and rooted for the Braves, so I would have been happy with whatever the outcome. The place was packed and we were on our way to buy tickets at the ticket office (standing room only) but Mike bought a couple of tickets from someone outside the stadium. Turns out they were berm seats (a little grassy knoll) and Mike was furious because he was told there would be seats, but no seats. So we just stood by one of the railings. Turns out this area is coveted by the kids because the berm sits right behind the Cardinal bullpen and they can get autographs from the players. So I gave our tickets to a couple of kids who were thrilled and ran down there with their baseballs and pens. Made their day I guess. And I got to see Chipper Jones (Braves) hit a home run with one man on. One of the Cardinal rookies hit a home run also. The final score was Braves 5, Cardinals 3. We tried a new place for dinner tonight—Jetty’s Restaurant. We had to wait a long time for a table, but it was worth it. I had hog fish snapper sautéed in a white wine butter sauce with lump crab on top and Mike had grilled chicken covered in lump crab meat and béarnaise sauce. Delicious!
