Go Rockies!

Since we moved to Eureka Springs from Colorado, and our families still live there, we are aware that the Rockies baseball team will play in the World Series this year. My in-laws are very into sports and attend many of the games played in Denver. In fact, my father-in-law prides himself with purchasing his tickets, plus a few extra on sites like Craig's list. Then he resells the extras at the last minute and makes enough extra cash to cover his ticket cost, plus enough spending money to buy snacks during the game. Pretty sweet deal.

So when the World Series tickets were scheduled to go on sale, he wanted to buy as many as possible and even had several family members try to purchase some as well, which he would then buy from us. As an added incentive, he offered to pay us an additional $50 for every ticket we end up buying.

So I was thinking we would get some spending cash for our Disney World trip out of it... But alas, the ticket system basically crashed because of all the users trying to log in at once and no one in our family was even able to get through the first screen. By the time we got in, all the World Series games were already sold out. Oh well, at least my in-laws got a great deal for our trip by swapping their inexpensive Las Vegas condo for a top of the line Orlando vacation rental. We'll be within walking distance to Epcot Center, then we can just ride the Monorail to get to all the other parks. Only three months to go!
