The Orioles Camden Yards Parks is one of the original new parks. It has many of the amenities I like in a stadium. However, the view is marginal. They've built hotels and they block the view of the Baltimore Skyline. We had seats in the Club level, but the seats were not nearly as comfortable as the Philadelphia club seats. Getting into the parking lot was easy. Getting out was not ... this seems to be a theme for the 'in the city' ball parks.
We went to the game with a friend from P&G, Rick Beagle, his wife, Elena, and their son, Quinn. Thanks for the tickets, Rick. The highlight of the game was Quinn schmoozing the ball girl to try to get a ball. He got the technique down quickly, but was unsuccessful. However, now that he has the technique down, I'm sure he'll get a ball next time. The game was over in the 2nd inning when Nick Markakis hit a 3 run homer. The Orioles ultimately won 9-0 behind Daniel Cabrera and several relievers. Here's a link to the box score:

We stayed with Tom Drum (and Lisa and their kids, Gina and Ava). They have a beautiful home and were wonderful hosts. Thanks, Tom and Lisa.
I've had some difficulty loading the pictures. When I finally load them, here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/14772189@N03/sets/
The Italian Sausage I had was quite good. It was the spiciest one we've had and had lots of veggies and a fresh bun. Once again, no sauerkraut (is there a national shortage??). I'd give it an 8.5. Nancy liked the Clipper Ship Ale she had.
We're now in DC visiting our son Steven. We'll be going to the Nationals game on Tuesday.
p.s. We had our Garmin stolen from our car in Baltimore. The police officer who took our information was very nice, but held out little hope for its return. I guess I'll be buying a new one.
