Baseball at Coors Field in Denver.

I decided that after Ryan's wedding, the best thing in the world would be for Matt and I to get out of town and enjoy, what else, but a baseball game! The Colorado Rockies just so happened to be in town that weekend, and I hadn't been to Coors Field yet ... so ... after cashing in a credit I had on Southwest Airlines, and bidding $50 for the Marriott in Denver and having it accepted, we were off. We were literally there for 14 hours - just enough time to fly in, rent a car, check into the hotel, go to the game, sleep for a few hours, and turn around and come back home in time for church and for me to fly back to VA. Talk about fast and furious! But very fun all at the same time. The game was great - well the last 3 innings anyway. I am sure Matt loved being with me since I made him take a million pictures. Good thing he likes pictures too :)I had the best nachos I've ever had at a baseball game (due mostly to the pulled beef they put on them, along with the guacamole). There were about six little boys sitting behind us for one of their birthdays, and they were hilarious. One asked his friends "how many minutes does it take for them to hit a home run" to which his friend promptly replied "well actually they could hit a home run at any minute, if the ball is over the plate then he could just pull it to the right or pull it to the left and it could go out of the park." ha ha Not a bad photographer either, that little boy ... The stadium was beautiful, especially as the sun set with the Rocky Mountains in the background! After the game we walked around the stadium to take a couple more pictures - some people don't know how to get the whole stadium in it though! Oh well.

So I took one of Matt with the whole stadium in the background - I swear you have to tell people exactly what you want in the picture otherwise they only take it of you.

Then we neglected to go out the same entrance we'd come in, so ended up walking around the stadium both outside ...and inside (which was great because there was no one left in the stadium - they almost didn't let us back in...)before getting in the line for the shuttle to our car. We met these girls who'd gone to the game instead of Prom that night - so I had to take a picture of them. They were hilarious.

After we got on the shuttle, it took awhile to figure out where our car was - but finally we made it. Two people not paying attention to where we'd parked did not equal an easy time! ha ha But we had fun together and I'm so glad that Matt was able to join me on my quest to seeing yet another baseball stadium. This marks #25 of the active 30 ballparks :) Next up, Seattle!
