Take Me Out To The State-of-The-Art, Air-Conditioned Ball Game

During the week, I drive by the Miami Marlins ballpark twice a day. It's a brand-new stadium, with a fancy retractable roof. I often take a mental note to check on tickets for a ball game, then I go back to cursing the horrible Miami traffic.  Sidenote: Driving in Miami is actually worse than the bad driving in Korea and Argentina combined! If only the Germans ran Miami highways...

Well, we finally got tickets! Despite it being a new facility, they cannot fill the seats!  I didn't really care about where we sat, but we were able to score pretty good seats with a "family day" package. The best part was that entire section to our left was completely empty. If you have or know a toddler, you'll understand that this is a sanity saver, because baseball is only interesting to little folks for a short time. In our case, this is about 8 seconds.

We lasted until the 7th inning stretch, which was about 7 innings longer than I had anticipated.

                              There's a built-in stadium aquarium. 

Taking a break from stair climbing.
