Pete Sampras comes to town!

Marcie and I have loved watching Pete Sampras play tennis over the past 20 years.  Last week he and 3 other "oldies", John McEnroe, Jim Courier, and Michael Chang, played a tournament at the Key Arena in Seattle.  We went and had an absolute blast.  There were two semi-final matches won by Chang and Sampras and then they played for the "Seattle" title which Sampras won.  They move a little slower but it was so great to be there.  I'm sure they staged it this way but there was a questionable call that Mr. McEnroe was able to argue a bit with the umpire over which was quite fun.  They made jokes with each other and once Pete even gave his racket to the ball boy who won a point off McEnroe!  It was a delightful evening and a dream come true for Marcie T!  We had great seats at about the 50 yard line - I guess better said would be right at the net line!  Here's a few photos including the beautiful moon as we were leaving:
