U.S. Open

We went to the U.S. Open to celebrate our fifth anniversary. I was so excited because we got to see the Bryan brothers play (and win).

We also got to catch a glimpse of The Donald and his buoyant hair.
On the subway ride to the Open a mariachi band went from car to car singing and playing, it was awesome.
We watched Melanie Oudin and the next best American hope, Ryan Harrison, play mixed doubles. They lost because they played Bob Bryan and the Bryan's are unstoppable.
The smash zone. We got to see how fast our serves were, Dave topped off at 100 mph.
Jacks worked hard to get 98 mph, he claims the net got in the way of his toss.
I hit a whopping 50 mph, luckily it didn't test aim.
Jackson and Dave were enamored with the giant ball and racket.

We were lucky that several of Jackson's siblings joined us, we had a fabulous time.

Jackson could not have been happier to spend the weekend watching tennis.
