On the drive south we ran into a traffic jam in Atlanta - at 2:30 AM! *

Our first day in Lakeland was cloudy, but at least it was nice and warm. *

The house in Lakeland. *

Dad at Joker Marchant Stadium for a Tigers spring training game. *

The day we went to the game, it was in the low 80's and sunny in Lakeland. I think the announcer at the ballgame said that at game time, it was 23 degrees with light snow in Detroit. *

Closer look at the ball game. *

Aunt Jean and Uncle Harlan enjoying the game. *

Starting to get dark out, so the lights are on. *

During the 7th inning stretch the grounds crew comes out, grooms the field, and then does the "YMCA" at second base (they play that song over the loudspeakers.) *

Ryan, having a great time at the ball game. *

Mom & us in front of the bottlebrush tree. *
