Indiana Fever vs Atlanta Dream + Atlanta Aquarium

 

This past weekend, Andrea and I drove to Atlanta to watch the Indiana Fever play against the Atlanta Dream. We'd gone earlier in the year to see the Fever play, but Caitlin Clark sat out that game, so we thought it would be a good opportunity to see her play when they were somewhat nearby. We drove up in our new car and tested out the self driving quite a bit and were overall very impressed with how easy it made the drive for us.

The days before the game, we wandered around Atlanta a little and didn't enjoy the downtown area much, possibly because it was so brutally hot. Sunday, the day of the basketball game, we went to the Atlanta Aquarium beforehand. There were some interesting things to see, especially the whale shark, and we checked out all the exhibits fairly quickly. It was a bit crowded and we didn't see any of the shows, but we had enough time to see everything else.

We walked over to the State Farm Arena for the basketball game and were let in at 3:30 for the 5 pm game. Our seats were higher up than the seats we had in Indiana and right in the center where we could see everything. We liked being a bit closer, but the section where we sat was on the club level which meant we got unlimited food and drinks for the game. There were multiple food options including pizza, grilled chicken, salads, hot dogs, cookies, and ice cream. 

We stayed until there were just a couple minutes left in the game and then Andrea decided it would be a good idea to beat the rush and start our long drive home. We are glad we left when we did, because the game ended up going to overtime and if we had stayed until the end, we would have been home incredibly late. As it was, we got home around 1am Monday morning.
