I took a half day and raced home. I jumped into my Phillies garb and grabbed Morgan! Back into the car and off to the train station we went. We waited about 10 minutes and the train came! While we waited Morgan chatted off my ear! She tried to chat up a man waiting too - but that didn't work too well. He was happier playing on his phone.
Morgan loved the train ride! She loved looking out the window. A couple stops into the ride Morgan asked, "Are we there yet?" I told her to enjoy the ride. She catted up a lady on the train about her excitement about going to her first Phillies game. She also explained that RJ loves trains but he was too little to go to the Phillies game. He was sad he couldn't come.
A man came onto the train at one point and sat in front of us. To me he looked like a typical man, but to Morgan apparently he did not when she made the comment nice and loud... "He can't sit here. I don't want him there. Boys are not allowed to have long hair." Teachable moment for Momma... little embarrassing, but I made sure to 'teach' nice and loud too. My only hope is that he didn't hear her because of his headphones.
Getting off the train into the underground train station was a bit overwhelming. Trying to find our way from the train to the subway entrance was a little nerve racking. Morgan pointed at the wall and said, "Momma, you should look at the schedule." I followed her point and gaze. "Oh," I said, "Yes, Morgan let's go look at the map on the wall, great idea!" We checked the map and off we headed in the right direction (I hoped!). We made it to the right spot! Yea!! We bought our tokens and headed into the subway terminals. We located the Broad Street Line and waited just a couple minutes and then came the subway! Morgan liked looking out the window. Not sure why because it was pitch black! Kept her busy and happy!
We got to to AT&T/Pattison stop and one last walk to the stadium! Yea! We walked to the stadium and Morgan got her first look!! It was chilly and the stadium was pretty dead, but we still had a great time! Morgan was so well behaved! She asked for a soft pretzel, and that was it!! I brought other snacks from home that she loved too. I offered her cotton candy, and she didn't like it because it "wasn't crunchy." Sugar for Momma! We stayed until the top of the ninth and then headed on our way home.
We got one of the first subways back. As soon as we entered I smelled the strong scent of urine. That is when I noticed a probable homeless man who had wet himself with a stream leading away from his foot. YUCK! Morgan didn't even make a comment, maybe she didn't notice, but I don't see how she couldn't have smelled something! The high-schoolers in front of me made enough comments to keep me chuckling the whole ride back to our train switch at City Hall. We found our way back to the Lansdale Line and waited. While we waited Morgan introduced herself and chatted with two separate ladies waiting for their train. We got the RIGHT train home and we made it home safe and sound! We never got lost, never made a wrong turn, never got confused!
Yea Morgan and Momma! We had an awesome outing together! I'm tired!!! But a great and happy tired!
