Omaha, Nebraska


When I told some of my friends that Drummer Boy and I were going to Omaha, Nebraska for a mini-vacation, I got some confused looks.
Them: What's in Omaha?
Me: The College World Series!!
Them: Are there other things to do there besides baseball?
Me: Does it matter?

Drummer Boy and I ate, drank, and slept baseball for 3 days and we loved it! We watched 4 baseball games, experienced a crazy storm with 75 mph winds, chatted with the locals, ate some yummy-to-my-tummy meals, sat through a 2 1/2 hour rain delay before they finally called the game, and cheered like crazy for the Vanderbilt Commodores. Unfortunately, Vandy lost the game that we attended, but they aren't out of it yet. They beat UNC twice and now they face Florida tomorrow night. We are back in Houston now, but we've got our gold pom-poms ready to cheer from home!
