By train to the Stars

For my birthday a couple months ago, Miss C bought me tickets to a Dallas Stars hockey game. The game was Monday, Feb 23 against the San Jose Sharks. It would be my first Stars game in about 13 years, and my first time ever inside the American Airlines Center. In lieu of driving to Dallas during the evening rush hour, we elected to take the train...

Walking to the AAC with a train load of Stars fans.

We had a great view from our seats on the Platinum level.

A face-off in our corner

Trailing 1-0 late in the 3rd, the Stars pulled their goalie and left an empty net...

... to no avail. The final: Sharks 1, Stars 0. It was still a fun time though...

Lots of activity at the DART / TRE station after the game...

Ridin' the train with my Sweetie!

In all, it was a very enjoyable evening. Hope it won't be another 13 years before I get to see the Stars again. Thanks, Miss C!

I've got vacation coming up in about 9 days... the kids will be on Spring Break and we'll be attempting a ski trip to New Mexico (even though I understand there's barely any snow). I may or may not post another blog entry before the trip. Check back soon and see...
