Go Astros!

For our final evening in Houston, we checked out an Astros baseball game.  It was a ton of fun!
Minute Maid Park was very lovely - it reminded me a bit of the new Citi Field where the Mets play.  We had some sweet seats thanks to a friend of Liam's that works for the team!

Sisters in the stands.  The lady next to us kept falling asleep.  Weird. 

The actual mascot was unclear - there was a bunny dressed up in a uniform, and also a lady dressed up in an ill fitting space age gold business suit, plus, an astronaut.  The team colors were unclear too - sometimes blue, sometimes orange, and a lot of maroon, but still fun.

Me and Lee.


There was a little train filled with oranges that drove back and forth along the top of the stadium.  Also, there was a citgo sign, like in Boston!  Cool!

So, we had a great time in Texas - hope to return soon!
