Damn this Traffic Jam! Houston



(Penny's perspective)

Remember the James Taylor song Damn this Traffic Jam? How I hate to be late, It hurts my motor to go so slow. Well, that sums up Houston. We sat in traffic for hours. If you go, give yourself lots of time!







And give yourself even more time to get through security. Hands up going through metal detectors, pockets empty, serious stuff in Houston.





Shame on  me for assuming there would be no vegetarian food options. Found something at both Texas stadiums.


I wanted to do this but Randy said it was for kids! 



Home Run Alley


Need a haircut?


How cool is this? Randy got us seats on the club level and this is the concourse. Pretty nice!



There has been talk of getting rid of Tal's Hill and the train for several years. I actually like the train (cheesy as it is) and hope it stays. It is a nice homage to the original Union Station which the park is built around. 

Here it is in action:

After Take Me Out to the Ball Game, don't sit down! Sing along with the crowd to Deep in the Heart of Texas. 


There is plenty of nightlife after the game to take advantage of. Several blocks from the stadium we found this fun little place with a rooftop bar and games projected onto the walls of nearby buildings. 

Thumbs up

Texas-sized scoreboard

Thumbs down
Can't think of a thing!

Loved the park, loved Houston. Hated the traffic!
