It's been a little while but for my 26th birthday Beck surprised me with a trip to Seattle to see the Mariners Yankees game on Aug. 15th. With all my time living in the northwest I have never been to a Mariners game and have always wanted to go to one. But this year especially because my favorite baseball player of all time, Ken Griffey Jr., is now back playing for the Mariners. The game was great even though Griffey is getting a little old and the Yankees won. But it was still amazing to watch Junior at the plate and how much the energy in the stadium would change whenever he was at bat. His swing is still the prettiest thing on a baseball field.

Better than the game was the surprise of many of my friends and family that made the trip to Seattle. When we arrived in Seattle we went to the Niketown and as I walked in, there were a bunch of my friends who all yelled happy birthday. I had friends from Utah, and Portland that had gone to Seattle for the game and for my birthday, and my dad, lil' bro Steve and my uncle Don had all made the trip up. This was all a surprise and was one of the greatest birthdays.
Above is a picture of me my dad and brother Steve after the game had ended.
Above is picture of Cam, Me, Brody, Ladd, Todd, and Isaac who are friends from Utah that had made the drive to watch their Yankees play.
This is my friends from high school, Jeff Bates, Courtney and Michael Austermiller and me. Mike and Courtney drove up from Portland and Jeff was moving back up to Seattle at the same time.
Thank you so much Beck for the great Birthday, you are wonderful and I love you. And thanks to everyone that came up to Seattle.
