Game 20: Rays 3 - Astros 2

We made it to Orlando on Thursday night. Friday we got new shoes (tires) for the baby car. We had found a Discount Tire in Orlando and called ahead about a week ago to arrange for tires and a time to replace. She is happier now.

Today we board the ship and we are leaving her with the Audi shop in Melbourne to let them perform some TLC. We also arranged that in advance and our planning is solid so far.

Late Friday we ventured to Tampa for our 20th park visit. Turns out our friends Sam & Caroline just purchased a condo in Naples and decided to drive up to meet us for pre-game festivities.


We had such a nice time catching up. They are doing well and look fabulous.

We had read and learned from many sources that Tropicana Park is the least desirable park in all of baseball. It did not disappoint.



The game was good. Tampa won 3-2. However, with a crowd of just over 15K and many of them Astros fans, no one seemed to care.

The dome is an interesting feature. However, the whole arena feels like something out of a small town in the Dakotas (no offense intended to the Dakotas).



Our seats were nice and we had a good time ... unlimited drink refills too.


With 20 complete, it is time for our cruise break. More in a couple of weeks.
