Late-Night Frontier

Earlier this summer, Malory came out to Albuquerque for a visit. Our friend Jessica, who Malory met at Dallas Theological Seminary, is also staying with Bob & Diane this summer. We enjoyed having Malory with us for a while, and to capitalize on the fortunate opportunity, we decided to go out one evening. We ended up doing late-night dining at Frontier, a self-described "Albuquerque tradition" (they're right about that).

Here are some pics we took that evening - we were definitely enjoying ourselves.



Steph and me, apparently debating something about tortillas.



The slightly suspicious, but oh-so-cute look...





A small bit of the completely random decore inside Frontier (especially the John Wayne collection), as well as us and our food (and my Nalgene water bottle - I'll take a moment to encourage everyone to switch to reusable water bottles - it can be a serious encouragement to drink more water and also avoid terrible landfill trash).



One of the many moments of hilarity that evening...



...continued.



Yes, we had fun. That was definitely a memorable evening for this summer for us.

Albuquerque Isotopes Game



A couple of weeks ago, our law firm went to see an Albuquerque Isotopes baseball game! They bought tickets for the attorneys and law clerks and their families. Bob and Stephany and I went and saw the 'Topes play the Omaha Royals. Both are minor league teams.









It was a fantastic evening, and we had a good view of the clouds in the sunset. Albuquerque has a really nice stadium, and the turnout was pretty good.





The 'Topes won that night 9-1. We didn't stay much past the sixth inning, because Stephany had to be at work early the next morning. We had a really great time.





Here's a pic of the mascots, red and green chiles, a pack of tortillas, and a jar of salsa. They have definitely captured the essence of the town. Although, maybe they should also have a little mountain named "Sandia" running around out there. That would really complete it.
