The LA Angels of Aneheim...in Orange County...California...Home of Disney Land...and Micky Mouse

We finally made it to the coast! We're in LA staying with my good friend Abby. She took us on a little driving tour of the area - we saw Venice Beach, Sony studios and some other sites, Pete and I will be on our own all day Tuesday to do some really touristy things and meeting my friend Chuck in Hollywood Wednesday for more super-tourist activity!


We went to an Angels game last night - the park is beautiful and PACKED for a Monday night
It was an excellent game too - the Angels were leading 4-1 and the Asstros came back and pulled ahead to a 9-4 lead (bummer) THEN the Angels caught up!

Love these pictures - major league smog (there's mountains in there somewhere!) and the sun setting through the ball park.

The score was 9-9 going in to the bottom of the 9th and we thought we might be in for extra innings when Chone Figgins hit an RBI triple to score the winning run from first base. That triple gave him 6 hits for 6 at bats during this game! He said in a press conference later that he's never even done that in a video game, much less real play! It was a great time and our Major league park of the summer... checked off the list!
