We may have finished up seeing the ballparks on the road, but after sleeping in late yesterday, we took a quick trip over to the new Cowboys Stadium and got a tour. Yes, we know it was a baseball trip, but the boys wanted to go check it out and I'm glad we did.
We are definitely not Cowboys fans in our house. But I have to admit, the stadium and the tour were pretty impressive. The tourguide took us everywhere throughout the stadium. I had seen the big screen TV above the field on TV, but until you actually see this thing in person - WOW!! It is huge!! We got to go to Jerry Jones' perch right below his personal suite, which was very cool. But the best thing about the tour was that they let you go out on to the field and play as long as you want until the place closes. That was very cool even for me. But Michael and Chris thought it was one of the highlights of the trip. Here are some of the pictures we took. I'll have some video when we get around the Texas video.

| Saying goodbye to the mothership at the rental car facility at the Dallas airport. It was like that scene in Apollo 13 when the astronauts watched their ship float away into space before they re-entered Earth. It was a great car and we had a blast in it for all 11,000 miles! |
Then we hopped on our plane and headed back to Phoenix. It's good to be home (well sort of - it is 107 today). But we are both looking forward to All-Star Weekend here in Phoenix. I've never been to a MLB all star game and it should be a great time. Sunday, we'll be at Chase Field for the MLB Futures game and the celebrity softball game, Monday night we'll be at the Home Run Derby - really looking forward to that, and then we officially close out our baseball trip and adventure with the MLB All Star Game at Chase Field on Tuesday night. We'll check in with more on Sunday.
