Astros and a Movie

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I had a nice relaxing weekend which I spent out of town and I definitely enjoyed myself!

We began our weekend on Saturday morning by meeting up with my brother/sister in law for lunch and a movie. It was our first time at a Movie Tavern and I thought the concept was really cool!

Once seated, we were presented a menu and given a call light. If we needed anything during the movie, we could hit the red call light and a waitress would come over to assist us.

Our food did not arrive until after the movie started so unfortunately, I have no photos of my food, but I ordered a chicken pita wrap and it was delicious! We also all ordered dessert…cause we had to, clearly.

I highly recommend a Movie Tavern/Dine in Movie Theater – it was a lot of fun to watch a movie and have lunch served at the same time!

Oh yea, the movie? We saw 42, cause it was an all baseball weekend….which I LOVED. The movie is awesome – I laughed, I cried…if you are a baseball fan, go see it!!

After checking into our hotel, we walked a short distance to the ballpark and were greeted with this – an open roof and a beautifully sunny day! Perfect baseball weather!

Unfortunately, the Astros were not in top form on Saturday night and pretty much blew the game. The final score was 19-6 which is tied for the most points scored in a game at Minute Maid Park. I’ve never seen such a crazy game. We left at the end of the 7th inning because we were tired of watching the “circus on dirt” as my brother called it.

A few good things DID happen during the game, though…

I got to spend time with my family!

Kayla got a foul ball! She was so excited!

Sunday morning, we took our time waking up, took our time getting ready, took our time eating breakfast…you get the picture, it was a laid back, relaxing Sunday!

Before the game, we walked over to the Hard Rock Café for lunch and we all really enjoyed it!

After Hard Rock, we walked over to Minute Maid Park for the Sunday afternoon game (we did a LOT of walking this weekend!). Once we arrived, we stood in the outfield to watch the players on the field.

As we were standing there, the Coca Cola Patrol Cheer girls ran over and threw a ball to Jason!

I also saw my old pal, Mickey in the corridor of Minute Maid Park!

 

We were excited to see each other! :0)

This game was far more entertaining than the day before. The Astros actually competed with the opposing team and came very close to tying the game up in the last inning. Our seats were in the very same location as the day before, too!

Unfortunately, the Astros lost Sunday’s game as well, but only by one point and not 12.

 

I might have enjoyed a sweet treat during the game, too… :0)

We had a fantastic weekend and enjoyed spending time with my brother/sister in law. Looking forward to next time!

How was your weekend? What did you do for fun/relaxation?
