What is more All-American than watching a baseball game, the Washington Nationals vs. the Pittsburg Pirates, in the Nation's capital, on July 4th weekend, with fireworks?  Nothing.  It doesn't get more American than that. 

We caught an exciting game at the gorgeous Nationals Park with a sold out crowd.  5 tickets cost us $20, it was Alice's very first ballgame, we saw the mascot and Becky and Nick's friend Bixler steal home to tie up the game and our favourite former Tiger Pudge Rodriguez hit in the game winning run.  And the cherry on top - a 10 minute long firework display.  A perfect July 4th weekend game.
