Hall of Fame Weekend

The in-laws came to town last Tuesday! We spend Wed night at Schimdts Sausage Haus in German Village - mom, dad, judy, chris, jason, christy and us went. They had a live polka band so made it hard to hear but was a great time.
Thursday afternoon we flew to NYC for a layover - we had a great view of the city!

Leaving NYC to Syracuse, we flew over the new Yankee Stadium where they were playing my boys - the red sox. I did wear my jesery at the bar at the airport and surprisingly, no fights.
We stayed with cousins Vinnie and Andrea - wouldnt you know, they put danny and I in the Yankee shirne room. Wow - they had a ton of stuff. Nothing like changing clothes in front of a few dozen Derek Jeters and Babe Ruths.

Friday we drove to Cooperstown! OK, we have a million pictures so Ill spare ya.

Of course danny had to test he speed. He actually ended up with 79!


Yes, I had to try and got 54 - the ladies high for the day!
And yes, we had to hit the batting cages.


Schillings bloody sock from 04 was my highlight!





I ended up having poison ivy on the trip! We wrapped my wrists and I looked like a cutter...not funny but it kinda was :)
Saturday was a trip to Syracuse U and the bar to watch the sox/yankees.

Sunday we had a great day at cousin Mary Jo's. The whole family came. Besides the rain, it was a great time.

Thanks for letting us stay Andrea and Vinnie - had a super time.
We missed our connecting flight in DC!!!! So we had to spend the night. Might as well hit the hotel bar right!
A day late, but we made it home.

ummmmm... the shrine room is a little scary, i have to admit. and i'm sure derek jeter didn't mind a little peep show ;-)

i like how you said danny "actually" hit 79mph, ha! you go margaux with your 54! i would have been somewhere around 23 probably ;-{
