MIAMI FLORIDA, SATURDAY APRIL 13, 2024 – My father’s company, FPL, partnered with the Miami Marlins to host an event for its employees.

Before the game, my dad and I walked around and met several of his employees. The Miami Marlins played the Atlanta Braves at the LoanDepot Park stadium located in the center of Miami, Florida. The weather was nice, and the stadium roof was pulled back providing a great breeze during the game. FPL gave all their guests a wristband that allowed for unlimited food and drinks which I enjoyed.

For me, the best part of the day was spending time with my dad.
