Chicago cub tickets
I was very proud of my husband's picks for presents for the fathers this year. We have had trouble in the past making a decision on what to get our fathers and when I was buying the gifts he would always complain about my choices, so a few years ago I put him in charge of buying the Father's Day gifts, and I was relieved to have unloaded a job and he felt like he was in charge. It was a good trade off for both of us.
In the past he has gotten them some really good gifts, but this year's gifts topped all the years past. Both of our fathers love baseball, and so my husband in his infinite wisdom decided that he would by his father Boston Red Sox tickets, not just any Boston Redsox tickets, but season box seats. And so when he told me this, I asked, almost afraid to hear the answer, "so honey, what did you get my father?" Then he answered "a shirt!" and my jaw dropped. He must have known by the look on my face that I was about 10 seconds from dropping to floor, when he told me that he had gotten my father Chicago cubs tickets. I said well, did my father get the good Chicago cub tickets like your father, and he answered of course, I wouldn't do for one dad and not the other.
Well, needless to say, both of our fathers were floored at the incredible gift, they have even since spoken on the phone to each other and are making arrangements to go to a few of the different games together. They have only met a few times, but I think that this whole ticket thing has them both running around acting like little kids in a candy shop.
It is nice that Bob was able to get them each something that they would love and on top of that something that could bring both families together. It is nice to be able to give a nice gift to our fathers on Father's Day. I am really glad that we can afford to do such a wonderful thing for our fathers to let them know how much we appreciate all they have done for us through the years. I know that this will be a gift that they won't forget for a long, long time.
