If you're a baseball fan, the National Baseball Hall of Fame is exciting. I spent this afternoon there. It's jam-packed with goodies -- something for everyone.
Cooperstown NY is out in the Tules. I was sure I was lost, even though Garmin acted like she knew what she was doing. After I arrived and confirmed I really was in the right place, I found the town charming.
The museum was packed and so I was glad I was able to visit before the summer horde of tourists arrived.

You ought to give retirement lessons!
ReplyDeleteThat area of NY is quite nice. Fond memories from the mid-eighties.
ReplyDeleteWe've got the Texas Sports HOF here in Waco. It has a ton of interesting things from all sports, but I'm sure it doesn't hold a candle to the Baseball HOF.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get there myself one day :)
I'll bet you were in 7th heaven. That's where they play baseball!
ReplyDeleteFun times. Glad you got a chance to see it. Lucky, too, I think. Can't always trust Garmin. Our GPS once tried to drive us into the Atlantic Ocean!
When they brought in the leather straps, I grabbed them and beat the dentist and assistant with them and they never tried that again. :-)
ReplyDeletei've never been but i think i could spend several days going through every square inch of the place, thanks for sharing.
