Baseball: Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins

The second baseball game we attended while in the DC area was the Miami Marlins playing at the Washington Nationals stadium, Nationals Park.

Jenn’s game summary:

Bomb-sniffing dogs in the parking garage: unusual. Beautiful day for a ballgame. Had a “Walking Taco” from Ben’s Chili Bowl—a DC fave. Good stuff. Racing presidents is a fun event between innings. Teddy won. Homers by Thomas and Meneses. Herz struck out 13, which made for a very quick game. It was a City Connect uniform day, so the Nationals were wearing cherry blossoms, and the whole stadium was themed accordingly—kind of pretty. A nice ballpark, but it would’ve been better if they hadn’t blocked the view of the Capitol with condos.

We got there shortly before the gates opened:
