Vacation, part one:
We left Saginaw on Tuesday, 9/11/07 for our vacation. Since we had passes for four tickets to weekday Tigers games (long story), we decided to go to the day/night double-header that the Tigers were playing against the Texas Rangers, then stay with Kate in Detroit before heading off to Washington on Wednesday. The first game was... how do I put this nicely... a debacle, a fiasco, a disaster... all of the above. In the sixth inning, the Tigers were down 10 to 0, and we knew this wasn't going anywhere good, so we headed to Greektown for dinner and some gambling before the next game. Hey - at least that way we had a chance to see someone win who wasn't a Ranger...
As we started to ride the People Mover back to the stadium, it was raining. Not really hard, but steadily, and enough to make us think that maybe there wasn't going to be a game after all. However, by the time we got to Comerica Park, the rain had cleared up, and as we got to our seats, there was a beautiful rainbow. The second game was much better, too, as the Tigers ended up winning it 4 to 1. This was also the first game in which I got to see my favorite Tiger, Pudge Rodriguez play.
After the games, we headed to Kate's house to admire her engagement ring, catch up on all the news, and get some sleep before our long drive to Washington.
