Vermont and New York



As we headed back towards Milwaukee, we knew there were many places we wanted to stop along the way.  The first on the list was Quechee Gorge in Vermont.  The views here are incredible and with all the pine trees, the smells were heavenly.  It was like being surrounded by Christmas trees. After we gazed and wandered the area we prepped for some serious riding towards New York State.

The ride through New York took us to Cooperstown, the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.  I think Jeff was in heaven.  All the plaques of his favorite players, the larger-than-life displays, the baseball art, even the old lockers and memorabilia from each team in the league were all on display.  There was so much to see we spent the whole afternoon there.

I was surprised by the location itself.  The building is tucked away in a little strip of shops and restaurants.  It was not a building that stood out at all.  And Cooperstown itself embraced the baseball theme with a amusement park and baseball complex for Little Leaguers and the like to play in tournaments.  This was a city geared for kids and their love of all things baseball.  It was a great place to hang out on a beautiful day. 

The trip would not be complete without a photo of Jeff in his umpire pose.  It was so fun to be here!
