It’s sushi and tacos and Cracker Jack!
It’s a San Diego Thing…
It’s baseball season and the San Diego Padres are our home team (until some businessman buys them and moves them to Hawaii). I must admit, I’m not a huge baseball fan. I don’t watch it on TV. I don’t have a fantasy team. I don’t even understand half of it.
But, that doesn’t stop me from going to a game or two during the season. Especially when we get free tickets! Petco Park is a great place for families, kids, and kids with families. It’s a fairly new venue and dare I say that the Park is classy for a baseball stadium. You can get the standard stadium fare (beer, pretzels, peanuts, cotton candy, slushees, etc.) and you can get gourmet fare (local brewed beer, shrimp burritos, fish tacos, sushi). There’s even a gluten-free stand for those that wish to partake! Plenty of food to choose from for your picky little eater!
Also, there’s a little field at the back of the stadium called “Park at the Park” with a kid’s sized infield and lots of space to picnic and just hang out. It’s geared for families with kids that can’t sit still long enough to watch an entire baseball game. Parents can set their kids loose in the 2.7 acre space and then kick back and watch the game on the big screen. Just bring a lawn chair. There’s enough space (about 2.7acres) in “Park at the Park” for the young’uns to run bases and wear themselves out. These tickets are $5 each and if you’ve got a toddler like I do, he’ll probably like this much more than being confined to one seat for 3 hours.
Worm enjoyed his first visit to Petco Park. It was a warm, sunny San Diego afternoon. I think the immense size of the stadium structure with all the people amazed him. He even let out a few drops of saliva on my leg in his excitement.
Worm ate nachos! Worm ate burritos! Worm I drank beer! Some nice Padre girls even came over to make sure Worm was happy! He even finagled some free schwag from them! (Is ‘free schwag’ like saying ‘space meteor’?) A fun time was had by all, for almost an hour. Luckily, it was a short game.
Worm, You Gotta Look at the Camera!
