It’s all about the cat and parking, well exiting. Today was Comerica Park Day and it did not disappoint. Tom started off worrying about parking but we headed out and hoped for the best. Parking was not difficult but getting out was hysterical. More about that later.
There were fun things to see along the way. We even passed through Romulus. I know, if you’re not a Star Trek fan you have no idea of the significance of that but trust me, Star Trek fans know.
The ballpark was outstanding and definitely a great place for families. There was a merry-go-round with tigers, a Ferris Wheel with baseballs, excellent food choices and a great view.
I told Tom this was a team made for us. Surprisingly they were only at half capacity since the Tigers are leading their division. Not sure what that was about but it was an enjoyable evening and my favorite ballpark so far. If anyone is keeping track, it’s 1. Comerica Park 2. Chase Field 3. Petco Field. That’s Detroit, Phoenix and San Diego. Tom still likes San Diego best and Detroit second.
Now back to our exit. We have a very large truck. It’s not easy to park. Tom does a mostly good job, mostly. We were sent to a spot with a drive through area next to it at the parking garage so it was an easy park and we were glad. You never know what’s going to happen when parking at a ballpark. But leaving, if someone had been in the truck, you’d have thought we were going to have a knock down drag out fight. I wanted Tom to follow the sign that said exit. He wanted to go up the ramp with the sign that said park. After a rather lengthy disagreement, we took the up to park way. I just want to say here, that it was parking, not exiting. After twisting around the parking lot a couple of times we ended up where we were and exited shortly after. I told Tom he was going to have leave me at the entrance from now on because he was stressing me out with his parking/driving. He told me I was going to have dig deep and figure out a way to chill out. I need a Zen moment while parking and exiting I guess. Maybe I need to close my eyes and pray for the best. Until he asks me where to go and then doesn’t listen to me. Speaking of prayer. There are several churches right outside the ballpark and one is Central United Methodist Church. From my seat it looked like the church had a bar. My first thought was, well that would bring people in but then realized that it was a restaurant that butted up against the church. So, I guess no one’s getting drinks while worshipping.
It was a mostly enjoyable day minus the exiting of the parking garage. I hope you’ve had an enjoyable day as well and didn’t have any trouble parking or exiting.
