Busch Stadium Tour
My Dad's birthday was in January and his present from us were tickets for the Busch Stadium Tour. Now my Dad is an avid Texas Rangers fan. How ironic right? Taking him back to the scene of the crime... well lets just say, it was my pleasure lol :) With that being said he loves baseball so I figured he would enjoy the tour regardless of where is allegiance lies.
Here are some photos from the day.
Happy Birthday Dad!

Before we left my Dad took a seat behind homeplate. I wonder what he was thinking? How could this have happened? Clearly, I think he's not over it ;)
