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…

This morning we crossed The Rainbow Bridge back into Canada after arriving in New York yesterday. We decided to go back across the border because we had originally booked this tour for last Friday. When we cancelled because it was over two hours away, the guide contacted me to offer us $10 off for each…

We went on an adventure today. Tom wanted to see “The Hole in the Rock.” So, we headed out with our trusty map to find a hole….in a rock. We traveled through the campground following said map and it’s a good thing Tom has better navigation skills than I do, because I was sure he…

You’ve probably heard the quote, often attributed to John Lennon, “Life is what happens, when you are making other plans.” So true! When we started this journey on July 1, we had plans. Tom had mapped out a travel plan that would take us to all the baseball parks we hadn’t seen yet. To be…

Yesterday morning we arrived at the Canadian border. I can’t even begin to tell you how stressed I was feeling with us dragging a 40 foot 5th wheel, three cats and and not a clue where we were supposed to go. As we were freaking out and voices were raising, a young woman came and…

It’s all about the cat and parking, well exiting. Today was Comerica Park Day and it did not disappoint. Tom started off worrying about parking but we headed out and hoped for the best. Parking was not difficult but getting out was hysterical. More about that later. There were fun things to see along the…

We have arrived in Michigan after spending several quiet days in Indiana. We are at a KOA near Ann Arbor that sits on a lovely lake. It’s a nice campground and the weather continues to be pleasant. We are enjoying being able to keep our windows open and not use the air conditioning. I’ve been…

Yesterday we entered Indiana in a rain storm. It was sprinkling when we left Jellystone Park and it only got worse from there. Traffic was terrible as well. It was a stressful drive. Oak Lake RV Resort is a nice quiet (mostly) resort off the highway in amongst the trees. We are here for four…

This morning we headed out to see Lake Michigan. Tom had mapped a path that just so happened to coincide with Racine. You might remember the name if you have ever watched “A League of Their Own.” They were the team battling the Rockford Peaches in that movie. We passed through Rockford, IL but were…

We woke up around 2:30 a.m. this morning with the trailer rocking. The wind was so fierce it turned over our rain/wind gauge so I don’t know how high the gusts were but it was concerning. The rain started soon after and poured for some time. It finally stopped and I had about gotten back…
