Buy Me Some Peanuts and Crackerjacks...

After listening to the gale outside last night, the hotel seemed like an appropriate decision. I awoke early, ready to let the chickens out, and got up anyway despite the fact that they were four hours away. We had the continental breakfast (LUCKY CHARMS!!!) and we headed for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Since it was cold and windy in Cooperstown, we were happy to have an "indoors day."

We toured the museum for about three hours enjoying the chronological history of the game on the second-floor. We especially enjoyed the artifacts relating to the Negro Leagues along with the humorous quotations of Satchel Paige.

Lisa brought her "Baby Ruth" shirt along on the trip:



What are you supposed to do with the bats?



After eating the FREE sub from yesterday's venture to Subway, we pointed south and hit the gas. It was still only forty-five degrees and we wanted to find a place where the temperature was higher than the speed limit on the interstate! After driving through Scranton and Harrisburg, we found ourselves at the KOA in Gettysburg for the evening where the temperature was a balmy 66.

Dinty-Moore Chicken Pot Pie was dinner with a generous amount of tea to wash it down. We're heading to bed, planning to go to the battlefield first thing in the morning.
