However, the trip was not without its charms, one of which was catching a weeknight Dodgers game. Dodgers Stadium is still one of my favorite ballparks, despite the notorious history of Chavez Ravine. The Boys in Blue dropped a game to the Rockies on a bone-headed error in the eighth, breaking a twelve-game winning streak, but no matter. Dodger dogs, peanuts & cokes, cheering 'til you're hoarse, ridiculous foam finger... is there anything as much fun as a ball game on a summer night?

Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Our recent trip to California was a little strange... it feels weird going back to a place we left a year and a half ago. Did we really drive in all that traffic? Did we really go around in that constant fog of smog & stress? Better believe it, and I am happier than ever with the Midwest.

I've been there! We got to see the Dodgers play at least five years ago, probably six. Such fun. I love ballgames when I'm there, not so much on the television. It must be the atmosphere. Beer, too. ;)
It looks like you are had a great time! Hope you can visit knitting group again soon and show us vacation pictures.
