Side trip to Cooperstown

As the title shows, today included a trip to Cooperstown. The primary reason was to go to the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum. I had reserved a rental car which we picked up in the morning and we were on our way. 

Finally made it

John ScanlanKimsan,
Did you ever see the Seinfeld episode where George drags the world series trophy around in circles behind his car just to piss off George Steinbrenner?

One smaller room had a few paintings. This one is well known and I enjoyed seeing it in person.

John ScanlanMost people don't notice the two team managers behind the umpires - one is mad and one is elated.

Midway through the Hall of Fame is a 13 minute movie that will bring you to tears.  We stopped for lunch at Doubleday Cafe.

We arrived back at the hotel, I did laundry while Kim worked on routing. Then I grabbed dinner at a small Italian spot near the hotel. House salad and Chicken Riggies! It was a good day!

Tomorrow we ride!
