ROCKIES

Friday night we went to our first Rockies game!  We decided we would try out the Light Rail for transportation and that may be the last time we ever do that.  I'm just not a public transportation kinda girl...I'm never going to change!  LOL, but in all seriousness it was fun and frustrating being that tourist trying to figure it all.  Seriously, why would the parking meter take credit cards but the machine for our Light Rail ticket not take credit cards?  Just a mental note to make for anyone reading this and wants to go for a ride sometime...bring cash.

Anyway, back to the game. We met up with a former colleague/friend of mine from my ACS days, Sara, and her fiance, Dan.  They got us tickets for the Rockpile (bleacher tickets for only $5!) and we had a blast.! We got there a little later than planned (all part of the transportation issues we experienced) but still met them at a bar for a pre-game drink then headed into the stadium.  The stadium is great, so many food and drink choices and things to do. By the end of the 8th inning we were all freezing and had had a fun enough time (the score was 18-9...talk about a lot of hits!) that we called it a night.  We'll definitely be going back this season, I'm really looking forward to many more games!

*I am so mad we didn't get any pictures of us at the game!!  But just another reason to go to another game really soon!

  1. Glad you got to hit up a Rockies game! It was definitely cold this weekend. I'm surprised the light rail machine doesn't take credit cards - good to know. We haven't taken it yet but it's something I want to do.

    We're going to the Nuggets/Lakers playoff game this Friday. I'm excited! Hope you have a good week.
