Washington Nationals vs. Baltimore "Oreos"

 Saturday night Dustin, Sam, and I went to a baseball game between the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles.  It was sold out because the two teams are rival neighbors, but we were able to get three wheelchair-accessible seats.  This photo is the view from where we were sitting.  I took these pictures with Dustin's new camera.  Pretty impressive photos for a point-and-shoot.
 The zoom on that little camera is awesome!
 Halfway through the game Dustin and I went to grab something to eat.  We ordered about $20 worth of food. I ordered a veggie burger because this particular place made the veggie burgers right there (in other words, they aren't frozen and packaged).  I had to wait a while to get the burger, so the man running the place walked up and told me, "Because you've been so patient, all your food is on me tonight."  That was a nice surprise.  
Three Amigos (and an old man standing in our picture).  The Nationals weren't doing very well throughout most of the game, so every now and then we would join the Orioles fans - "Let's Go O's!"  Hey, when you don't care about baseball you cheer for whoever wins and you leave happy. :)
At the beginning of the game we were wondering what an "Oriole" is.  Dustin, clearly disappointed in our lack of intelligence, responded, "It's a cookie."  Ha!  He was thinking of an Oreo.  Turns out it's a type of bird.

Wow! The pictures ARE nice! Get me one while you're at it. :D (Wait, does it do video, too?) Really, though, I want to know the model and how much it costs. Be sure to type it up in Amazon and check customer reviews for possible problems.

Maybe I take that back. His pictures are good, even the ones with action - no blur. Is the girl Sam?
