Minute Maid Park Tour

Molly and I had the pleasure of taking a behind-the-scenes Twilight Tour of Houston's Minute Maid Park(where the Astros play). Here we are in left field on the warning track.

We got to see just about every aspect of the park... luxury suites, a broadcasting booth, the Diamond Club, the manual scoreboard, Tal's Hill, the Astros Bullpen, the Astros dugout, and Houston's historic Grand Central Station (it's incorporated into the ballpark)!

I learned something new. The seats just behind home plate are only sold as season tickets, and they have to be sold in pairs... at $35,000 each!

Here was the reason for going. It was Mike's (below) birthday celebration. Here he is greeting the crowd.


Are you jealous, Josh?

Happy Birthday Melissa!

Last night was Melissa's birthday, and we went over for a little surprise party. I was late because I was working the day shift this weekend -- Somebody has to keep the International Space Station's Expedition 14 crew safe while all the ADCO's are partying down! Molly got to surprise her though. Here is a picture of Molly and I that our friend Josh snapped last night. You can see Moose just beyond me there too.
