matt and i surprised anna with tickets to see david beckham and the la galaxie play toronto fc on april 13. it was a very cold and wet spring evening, but anna and i packed warm clothes and sleeping blankets and set out to toronto. our friend loralee let anna pearl borrow all of her toronto fc wear and anna was dressed to the nines and ready to go.
we arrived in toronto a little early and got to do some shopping at the eaton centre. anna bought some mocossins and a bench coat with her birthday money and then we headed down to the soccer field. the stadium was so full of energy and excitement. we got to our seats in plenty of time to watch the warm up. let me tell you, it was worth every penny that we spent on the tickets just to see david beckham stretch and warm up only metres away from us.
we made fast friends with a couple sitting next to us. they were from scotland and had planned their visit to canada around when david beckham would be playing in toronto. it just goes to show you how much they love their soccer overseas!
l.a. and toronto played to 0-0 tie. it was a great game though and the crowd was electric. we had so much fun, we didn't even realize how cold and wet we were until the game was over. i can honestly say that i have never had so much fun at a sporting event in my life... ever. i hope we get the chance to go back again with the entire family. thanks for the date night anna p.... and mr. beckham!
