Comerica Park

To end our ten-day stay in the land of the Avilas, we headed out for a day of family fun (including Nasim and a couple of Batemans) at Comerica Park. Despite the 66-degree weather forecast, we neglected to remember that aluminum reflects up and burns the skin. Dawn also determined she's got a future in baseball coaching. Her only advice: 'run a lot faster you fools!'

Nasim!





The game was incredibly boring, with the Indians scoring eight runs in the first four innings. But of course, as we decided to bow out of the game at the eighth inning, the Tigers opted to run a little bit faster and ended up winning.

There are no pictures of the moments in-between: margaritas, Avila Family game night, good conversations with good friends, slushies and salads, etc. But it was a brilliant, brilliant trip.
