This weekend, the Minnesota Twins are on the east coast for some Beantown baseball against the Boston Red Sox. About a week and a half ago, I was also on the east coast—seeing the Twins battle the Washington Nationals! Here are a few highlights of that jaunt (taken with my mom)…

Of course we had to hit the monuments, this being my first time in D.C.:

As far as Nationals Park goes, I put it right about in the middle of my ballparks-seen so far. I’m not sure there is anything extraordinary about it visually—the paltry crowds & atmosphere for a Twins/Nats series probably didn’t help in that regard. But it is also perfectly serviceable and pleasant as an MLB receptacle. I especially enjoyed the food offerings and a little city block right outside the ballpark featuring some great eateries too!

Without a doubt, my favorite part of the whole experience was the Presidents Race! For my money, that’s the best mascot race in all of MLB! I love the creative ways they use to make sure Teddy Roosevelt does not win (hahaha).

All in all, it was a wonderful first foray into our Nation’s Capital! The games were fun, the monuments were a sight to behold, and the museums/tours were all unique. Someday, I’ll get to the site of today’s contest—Fenway Park—and I have a sneaking suspicion it’ll immediately vault to the top of my list.
