Approximately 200 miles (not kidding) later, we had to separate from them and make our way to Waco to take in a smattering of the Fixer Upper craze. We had an amazing brunch at Magnolia Table (open now about two months).
We waited an hour, but understand the waits are commonly two hours plus - so worth it. They open at 6am and close at 3pm. So, if you wish to dine be prepared to wait and arrive no later than 11am. After passing by the Magnolia bakery and the silos, we were off to Arlington for Game 2.
Globe Life park is about 22 years old and is a nice park. However, it will be replaced by a new facility in 2020. The current stadium has no roof and the new one will have a retractable roof. Any excuse for a new stadium seems to work these days.
It was a beautiful day for baseball, if not a bit warm. We had shade at our seats and a nice breeze.
The Rangers and Yankees had split the prior two games and this "rubber game" for the series did not disappoint. Back and forth, the Yankees once lead 10-5. However, the Rangers fought back and took the lead (winning 12-10) in the bottom of the 7th.
Oh yes, Texas made us feel special indeed. Not only did we have the escort in the morning, but (look very closely) President George W. and Mrs. Laura Bush joined us in the stadium for the game ... must have been because we were in town!
Tomorrow is a travel day, heading to Denver, passing through the panhandle of Oklahoma, southwestern Kansas and southeastern Colorado.
