Game 17: Nationals 8 - Phillies 6

Spent Saturday traveling from Cleveland to D.C. Along the way made a surprise pop-in to see Ken & Laurie again.

We encountered more crazy-rain in Maryland and made our way to D.C. for a late bite to eat ... chili Saturday at Woodmont Grill ... yum!

Sunday we walked the Mall of our Nation's Capital. It was a beautiful day and the mall was filled with a National BBQ event. We enjoyed a few pictures and found a great spot for a late lunch right by the Navy Memorial.

The Nationals game was the Sunday night game and began at 8:08 PM. We toured the park, found our seats, met some seat mates and settled in for the evening.

The park was OK. Lots of growth in the area. We could see seven construction cranes from our seats, just over the left field wall.

The game was very entertaining. As it moved back and forth, we experienced a 50 minute rain delay in the fourth inning, just in the midst of a National's rally.

In the end, overcoming a 6-2 deficit, the Nationals prevailed. We departed the park at 12:42 AM.

On to Philadelphia.
