Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Last week Hubby and I went downtown to Minute Maid Park to watch the Houston Astros take on the St. Louis Cardinals. It was such a great game. The Astros came back in the bottom of the 8th to be up 6-5, and they held them through the 9th. The cannons went off, the train blew its horn (Does any Houstonian know what the meaning of the train is?), and the fireworks popped. It was such a fantastic time.

It's amazing that you can enjoy a baseball game for $7 a ticket. This is the price for nosebleed seats at Minute Maid, but they were totally worth it. There is not a bad seat in the house. You can experience all the thrills and excitement without spending a bundle.


We went with our friends from Hubby's medical school. It's been great getting to know some people over the past year. Events such as the ball game can really help one open up and enjoy the company of others.
