We departed Arlington, OR around 10:00 am and after a short stop in Portland for Starbucks and Krispy Kreme donuts (a last fling I guess) we arrived home at 1500 hours.
I am so happy to be home, but it was a great trip, don't tell them I said that though.
We were gone 64 days and drove around 8000 miles. We were able to visit with some friends and with family. We even met some other nice people along the way. We also got to see some great ballparks and eat a whole bunch of hot dogs, peanuts and cracker jacks. Dad was able to add seven more ballpark pennants to his collection and Mom got to add seven more jerseys to her closet. They also got to cross something off their bucket list (seeing all 50 states).
Here are some of my observations and remember I'm just a cat.
Favorite State: Tennessee (same as last year)
Favorite Military Campground: Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs
Favorite Civilian Campground: West Yellowstone, MT
Best Roads: Minnesota and Oregon
Worst Roads: Michigan
Favorite Attraction: St Louis Arch
Favorite Ballpark: Comerica Park, Home of the Detroit Tigers (love those big cats)
a close second goes to Wrigley Field in Chicago just because it's Wrigley
Favorite Baseball Town: Denver, Colorado
Favorite Ballgame: Cincinnati Reds over the Washington Nationals, walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the ninth (even though it took 10 hours)
Least Favorite Ballpark: US Cellular Field, Home of the Chicago White Sox (I mean Mom
didn't even buy a jersey)
Best Weather: Detroit, MI
Worst Weather: St Louis, MO ( golf ball size hail and a tornado evacuation, what do they expect?)
Cost of Fuel : $2800
Cost of campgrounds : $1250
Cost of ballpark tickets : Dads not talking
Cost of Moms jerseys : Priceless
Well that's it for me until these people I live with drag me off on another one of their adventures
