Road Trip

Spring Break has come and gone, and while I didn’t make it to someplace warm and sunny I still managed to have a great week. I consider myself a fairly fanatic baseball fan, I used to work for the Texas Rangers and have become a Boston Red Sox fan during my college years. One thing that I have always want to do was visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Now if you have ever been you know that Cooperstown is seemingly in the middle of nowhere, and therefore I had little reason to make the 3+ hour drive to get there. So why did I know have reason?? Apart from having a whole week off with nothing pressing to do, I planned a little road trip.

Tyler and I set out to visit some of his family in New York just outside of Rochester. To break up the road trip I planned stops both at Howe Caverns and Cooperstown. It was a blast. I have been to numerous caves before but Tyler never had. If you haven’t you should defiantly look into it. They are all so different but equally interesting.

After our stop at Howe Caverns we headed into Cooperstown for the night. Since it was off season the town was pretty quiet. Even still we walked around main street and checked out Doubleday Field. The next morning we finally made it to the Hall of Fame. It was great! Three floors full of baseball memorabilia.

You could easily spend all day at the museum but we had plans and had to hit the road.

Before long we were pulling into Tyler’s Aunt and Uncle’s driveway. We spent the next three days hanging out with his cousins; bowling, going to the movies and such. Even though it was a low key kinda week, I am sad that it is over. Not only does it mean back to school, but that the end of the semester is that much closer….and we all know what that means.
