Spain vs Uruguay - Battle of the Champions

Doha was host to the Spain vs Uruguay soccer match last week.  They called it the Battle of the Champions because Spain is the reigning World Champion and Uruguay is the South American Champion.  Chase was really excited about going even though it started at 9:00 pm on a school night :/. Since you know that Bobby isn't really a late night kind of guy, I decided to take Chase.

We were driving there straight from the athletics meet and were shocked at how easy it was to get into the parking lot and park. NOTHING like trying to park for a collage football game in the US! We headed for the fan zone and picked up some paraphernalia to wave around in the stands.

 We had a blast watching the first half, and then Chase was ready to head home. After the athletics meet all day and the soccer match, it was 10:00 and he was exhausted.

It was a fantastic "date night" for Chase and I to spend together!
