Oriole Park at Camden Yards

I was driving from my parents home in Tennessee back to my home in Massachusetts, so I decided to overnight in Baltimore and take in a game (Aug 8, 2008). I used to live in Baltimore, so this was a homecoming for me. My two kids were with me and had a fantastic time at the game. My son has been to several games at Camden Yards (including one when he was two months old), but this was my daughter's first game. The fact that the Orioles beat the Rangers 9-1 made my son happy, while the fireworks after the game cemented my daughter as an Orioles fan. The game time temperature was 82 degrees with a beautiful sky overhead. You couldn't have asked for a nicer night for baseball.

Camden Yards is my favorite park I've visited to this point.

When my kids and I drove from Iowa to Massachusetts last April (I had a short term job in Iowa) we took in three minor league parks along the way.
