Our Trip to Texas - Day One

Mel and I decided we would go see 2 Texas Ranger games. The Minnesota Twins were in Arlington for a 4 game series. Our tickets were for Monday, the 23rd and Tuesday, the 24th.
The weather was HOT - 107 degrees which tied the record high for that date. We checked into the Holiday Inn express on Randol Mill Road and is within walking distance to the Ballpark.
After checking in we decided to go to the huge Walmart across from the Cowboy Stadium and browse. We bought snack items, then headed back to the room. On our way to the hotel, we stopped by the tourist bureau across from the Ballpark to check out information about things to see and do in Dallas.
Time to go to the Ballpark but instead of walking we decided to ride the trolley because of the heat.
On TV and the Rangers' Website were ads about "all you can eat buffet" with ticket purchase. The buffet had nachos, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, peanuts, popcorn and soft drinks. We had bought these tickets for the Monday night game to give it a try. Black bracelets were put on our arms to show those were the tickets we had. After eating and becoming full, we settled in for a great game.
At the start of the game at 7:05 the temp was 100 degrees. By the end of the game it had cooled down to 97.
The Rangers won 4 to 0!
