Come On, March 9

What's so exciting about March 9?

That's the date the Hub & I report to Phillies Spring Training!

We started attending Spring Training in 2005. We opted to get married in March just so we could go to Clearwater for part of our honeymoon. We also went to Disney World, but guess which of the two locales we return to annually?

There is nothing in the world quite like Phillies Spring Training. For six weeks starting in late February, Phillies fans descend on the small town of Clearwater, FL and make it their own. As for the games themselves...if I'm being honest, I barely remember most of them. I'm too busy holding court at Bright House Field's Tiki Bar, laughing with my "Florida friends" and partying like I'm half my (advanced) age.

So...come on, March 9!
