More on Trip

We had a fun trip to the East.

We were lucky enough to spend each night with family members. Three nights at Jean's apartment, five nights at Mims and Elaine's house and six nights at Nils' house.

We appreciated the hospitality and look forward to doing it again sometime.

We also got to visit with some of Aimee's former classmates for dinner a couple of nights in NYC.

The Notre Dame Architecture group has a lot of good people and they do a good job of staying in touch.

Over in Endwell, N.Y. we got to visit with Nils and Dick and Sook Propes. It was the first time we had seen them since 2006 when they lived in Atlanta (although Nils was out of town that time, so we hadn't seen him since our wedding in '05).

We very much enjoyed spending a week with them. The time flew by and we were sad to have to leave when it was time.

Cooperstown

One stop on our trip was at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown.

The drive from the Propes house in Endwell was not very long - less than an hour and a half.

We were there a few days after the most recent induction ceremonies (when the small town is very overcrowded).

Fortunately we missed the large crowds and had an easy visit on a Friday afternoon.

Yankee Stadium

Last week we went to a game at the 'old' Yankee Stadium. The picture above is of the new Yankee Stadium being built next door.

It was a very warm day and Max was taking his turn for getting sick at the ballpark.

Fortunately, he woke up in time to see the Yankees score a bunch of runs and beat the Orioles 13-3.
