Spring Training in Phoenix Day 4: One more game and I’m back home

The final day of my Spring Training trip took me to Camelback Ranch Sunday to see the Dodgers host the Indians. As a partial Indians fan, this was a good way for me to watch the team and check out a new stadium.

But before that, we decided to stop by this breakfast spot called Kiss the Cook. It’s an American style place but with a great atmosphere. There were baskets and umbrellas hanging on the ceiling and a corner of antiques such as kitten toys and bobbleheads of Phoenix Coyote players.

Sitting down, I saw the menu and was blown away by the great selection of omelettes. The seafood one was the one I had to try.

Shrimp in the morning for my omelette? You betcha!

What was great about this place was that the food was just so filling and I was stuffed. The check came with two Hershey Kisses and after that, we were on our way to the game.

The drive to Glendale was pretty neat as we could see the University of Phoenix Stadium from the distance. The park (which is shared by the Dodgers and White Sox), compared to Phoenix Municipal, was a lot nicer. The lawn area was a great view to catch the game and there were no bad seats in the house.

In fact, they didn’t even check our tickets so I had a pretty good view of the game up close.

I have to say that this was a great way to end the trip. A nice relaxing game before a long drive back to SoCal was what I needed. I am so glad I got a chance to do this. I wouldn’t have ever imagined that I would get a chance to go to Spring Training but after doing it, I want to do it again next year.

For any baseball fan, it’s a fun experience. This one for me was great — and I ate a lot of good food. I’m glad I did this, but now it’s back to the grind of preparing for the big NFL free agency period coming up next week.
