we got to san antonio around 3:30, checked into the hotel, rested a bit, then went to get a bite to eat before we set out to the at&t center. we thought that traffic would be worse than it really was, so we ended up getting there a little after 6. the doors didn't open until 6:30. it wasn't a bad wait though. i was blown away by how many people were already in line.
when we finally got in, we went to the spurs shop to get some souvenirs (at my uncle's insistence, i assure you!). while we were there, we got a neat surprise. eva longoria was there too! you should have seen the crowd around her. she had a bodyguard, a guy that looked like he could be tony parker's brother, and some other ladies with her. there were all sorts of people taking their cameras out to take pictures...me included! my dad were standing outside the shop, and when she walked past them, ryan said, "she was literally inches away from me!"
after kelli and i got our souvenirs (baseball caps in brown, pink, and white, decals, and a large pillow), we found our seats. we were pretty high up but the view was still pretty good. then the game started. it wasn't my first spurs game, but going to those games never gets old. the first half was spectacular. at one point the spurs were up by 22 points, but in true spurs fashion (hey, nobody's perfect), they let the celtics come back. sadly, they were not able to pull out a victory. in the final two minutes, i lost track of how many times the lead changed. like i told my friend bekah, it was crazy intense! that's why there are no pictures of the actual game. i didn't want to waste time getting my camera out in case i missed a steal or something. by the fourth quarter i was completely drained from cheering.
after the game we all went to mi tierra, a yummy mexican restaurant. it was gooood!
overall it was a wonderful trip. thank you uncle noe and daddy!
