Vacation 2008

About two years ago, we heard that Yankee Stadium in New York City was being torn down and replaced by a brand new stadium. Upon hearing this news, the plans for our vacation were born. We both wanted to to see the House that Ruth built and be able to tell our chilren one day that their parents were there in its final week.
Well, apparently we became over ambious and planned a three week vacation that started in Boston and ended in Washington, D.C. and included six major league baseball games and a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.
Our first stop was Boston for four days, New York City for five days, Cooperstown for 2 1/2 days, Philadelphia for four days, a day in Baltimore and five days in D.C. with travel days in between each city. We took a red-eye flight to Boston, traveled the east coast by train and flew from D.C. to Oakland with a layover in Salt Lake City.
Despite the fact that we both literally walked through a pair of sneakers and nearly exhausted ourselves, we had an awesome trip and are already planning on going back to spend more time in the cities.
Look for more postings and pictures about each city stop we had and all of the funny mishaps that happened.
