Oh wow...…………..another big day! Left Utica around 8:10 and off to Cooperstown (45 minutes). GPS routed us thru lots of curvy roads but beautiful countryside and Lake Otsego.
I LOVE Cooperstown and all its charm, beautiful old homes and buildings, gorgeous flowers and baseball, baseball and more baseball. This town is all about baseball and we were just one week away (July 27-30) from the Class of 2018 being inducted. The town will totally be nuts so good thing we are missing that. With only a population of 1,000+, summertime in Cooperstown swells big time. So many families out and about on this gorgeous day....
We started with breakfast at the Stagecoach Café - neat coffee shop with great food (cinnamon rolls for the boys and me - sandwich for Mark). Then off to the museum a block away.
Entrance to museum
The boys went absolutely crazy looking at all the exhibits and Mark and I loved listening to them and their BIG-time enthusiasm.
In front of Ryne Sandberg (their Mom's huge fan) in the Hall of Fame
Jordan gave us a tour and was very interesting describing several things along with some of the Hall of Famers. We hit the streets and the many shops (all related to baseball).
All the lampposts have 2 of these huge hanging baskets up and down Main Street
Lunch in the basement of Mickey's (for Mickey Mantle) at "Hey Getcha Hot Dog" - gotta have a hot dog in Cooperstown and with all the toppings - yum!!!
The boys scouted out so many shops.....but in the end, along with some special souvenirs, they each had a new jersey....
Happy with their purchases while waiting for food at AJ's
Liam (Ryne Sandberg) and Connor (Ernie Banks). We left for Tonowanda around 2:30 and a 4-hour trip. Had supper at AJ's here in the marina - love their food
(ribs, quesadillas and pulled pork nachos). The boys have done their packing and tomorrow, they are flying back to IL...…just won't be the same....
Nighty night...
