Houston a Go Go

So it's been a little while since my last post. My life has been a little crazy since then. Right after the last post, my family and I went to Houston to see friends. While there, we attended a Cleveland Indians Houston Astros game. I have to say, I am very impressed with Minute Maid Park. The people were very accommodating to us as we had a teenager with a bum leg on crutches. The ushers offered us a wheel chair to escort her to and from her seat. The game was a blast for the Tribe faithful. The good guys won 19-6!!

This game was also the first time I was able to take my 3 year old son to a Major League Baseball game. He did well for a three year old. He was a little restless, but enjoyed the pizza and especially the peanuts and Cracker Jacks. It was a very chilly night in Houston. The had to dome open as rain was not in the forecast. The temperature at the start of the game was about 65 degrees. By the 7th inning, my wife left because the temperature had plummeted to the low 40's. All in all it was a successful trip to the old ballpark.



I was able to golf a round while in Houston. My friend Mike and I golfed at Houston National Golf Club. This was a very nice course. The course was set between housing developments creating more than a few breath taking moments as we both experienced some errant drives. The highlight of the round was our golf cart died on the 17th hole. By that time we were as worn out as the cart and feeling the effects of some Mexican beer.All in all it was a good round of golf with great weather.
