Yesterday we traveled to Cooperstown NY. It has been a dream to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. We arrived shortly after opening and there was a line to the sidewalk. There were several groups off to the side and more people arriving by the minute. We got in shortly after 9:30 and started our tour. It was better than I expected and a joy to see the history displayed there. There were a lot of people inside as well and it was hard to get good pictures but we enjoyed it a lot.
This morning we left New York heading to Vermont. I have never been to Vermont and was excited to mark it out of my list. I have four states to go and I will have been in all 50 states. Those left are Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware. I’ll be picking all those up in the next week!
We traveled back roads a lot of the day and it was fun to see the towns. A lot of the homes reminded me of England. They were rock homes with rose bushes around them. I saw a lot of homes like that in England/Scotland. I remembered New York was one of the original 13 colonies so I imagine people from England brought their building skills.
We were driving down I-20 and Tom noticed a sign for snowmobiles ahead.
Tom: Snowmobiles ahead.
Me: to rent?
Tom: No, on the road
Me: I doubt that
Tom: Maybe not now but in the winter
Me: That would be interesting to see, the snow so bad you need a snowmobile. We also signs for Moose on the road but sadly did not see any Moose.
We then had a discussion about my English Tea Cakes. I had brought one as a snack if I needed it. When I opened the package, I told Tom they were like a smore. I mentioned them in an earlier post. You can see from the picture below that they have all the ingredients of a smore. Chocolate, marshmallow and a cracker, definitely a cold smore.
Well Tom proceeded to tell me that he wouldn’t like them because he doesn’t like smores. Specifically he doesn’t like marshmallows. He even went on to say that marshmallows have no redeeming qualities. I said, “No, redeeming qualities?” He told them they are squishy and the texture is just…..We have been married for 32 years and I never knew he didn’t like marshmallows. I said, “who doesn’t like marshmallows?” He of course said, “Me.” I told him he’s lucky I didn’t know that before we got married, it might of been a deal breaker. Not really, of course. I suppose that’s why he doesn’t care too much about a fire at the campsite.
Well that’s our last two days. Tomorrow we will visiting a National Park, a country store so Tom can pick up some maple syrup and several other sites near our campground. We’ve had a good journey today. I hope you’re journey has been a good one too.
