Play Ball

Ah, baseball season, nice to see you again!

 Even though it wasn't opening day, it was at least opening weekend.  Rooting for the home team has been something we have enjoyed since moving out here almost 7 years ago.  Tickets are affordable for all.  Even after the Rockies went to the World Series in '08 (I think) you could still get "rock pile" tickets (center field bleachers) for 4 bucks.  So, yeah, very accessible, I like that. 

We stopped at the Sandlot Brewery which is inside the stadium and is the original birthplace of Blue Moon.  I had a water.  Then off to our seats

27 weeks

These seats were a little better than rock pile thanks to Eric's boss, although we were 5 rows away from the hoity toity seats that get free cookies (jerks).  So I had to make up for it by enjoying my own ballpark fare.  I was excited about a hotdog all day so I, of course, had to start with that (yeah, yeah nitrates and pregnancy, blah, blah, it was one hotdog, chill.) Then I discovered the most amazing (and fancy) ballpark food...

The chocolate covered fruit kabob.  Totally overpriced, but, hey, I can only use the pregnancy excuse for a few more months right?  I then rounded out my baseball dinner with an ice cream cone.  And it was glorious.  Oh, and the Rockies won so over all I would say our first baseball outing of the season was a definite success!  Looking forward to a great baseball season to tide us over until football starts again!

On a side note, It was in the 60s the day before yesterday and it was 9 this morning.  Colorado weather is throwing a tantrum that I am not a fan of.  Be Spring already!!
