Off To Minnesota


my little guy decided to go to the University of Minnesota for his college education and with move in date upon us, what do i hear: ROAD TRIP. Due to the W's work schedule, she couldn't come with us, both of us were disappointed that she wasn't joining us on this  adventure.

The plan on the way out was to stay in Cleveland, OH on Saturday night and catch the Yankees/Indians game at Progressive Field or the Jake, as the Indian fans still call it.

6:30am, in the car and we are off, NY, NJ, PA, OH. New York and New Jersey flew by quickly, Pennsylvania, forgetaboutit, 310 miles, not a quick trip. Got to Cleveland in about 9 hours with gas and food stops.

My little guy has a goal to visit as many National Parks as possible, so finding Cayuga National Park, 3 miles from the hotel was a score. IT was a nice park with some hiking trails and lots of biking trails.

Went to the Stadium, found parking a few blocks away, all of the food joints that we wanted to hit were slamming with fans so we walked down to E4th street where we ate brats and burgers in a bowling alley. Got to the park and proceeded to watch the Yankees leave 9 men on base and lose the game.
