Who attended?

    •  As always, a game at Nationals Park is always fun ... wish the Nats were having a better season. The Orioles beat us 9 to 1, and we had a 1 hour rain delay. Watching the ground crew was interesting and Nats Park made it easy to socialize while we sought shelter during the rain storm This event is made up so several groups: Capital Ski and Ride Meetup, SCWDC Cultural Program, a tennis group, and friends and family. 
    •  Had a great time in spite (or maybe because of) the dramatic 6th inning thunder and lightning storm. A few hardy among us stayed to the bitter end. The new stadium is gorgeous! Lots of fun having such a big group show up - a mix of SCWDC members, TTG (Tennis Group), Meetup folks and friends of all of the above. Look for more games at the new stadium for this Meetup group next season. 
    •  Good people - good fun - bad baseball !! But the 6th inning storm was spectacular and the hot dawg hit the spot in the 8th inning.

       Nice people, bad game
