10, 15, 10

Well we did it!  While in Mesa for spring training we saw all 10 training sites, we saw all 15 teams that train in the area and we did it in 10 games. Planning was key.  So we have now seen all 30 teams and all spring training sites in Florida and in Arizona.  Even better news is the Oakland A's are getting a new site beginning in 2015.  So while we are back in Mesa next winter we need to go see that facility.

 

 Our next ball game will be in San Diego.  We have 8 stadiums to see before we will have seen all 30 big league parks.  Plan to get the west coast this summer.  But in 2017 the Atlanta Braves get a new stadium.  What about the Richmond Flying Squirrels?  How is that stadium coming along Richmond???

Road Trip!!

Yeah, yeah, I know every body thinks we are on a full time road trip.  I really can't argue with that...But sometimes we leave the RV and take the Jeep on trips.  This time we went to;

The main reason we went was to visit our friends Ben and Carol D'Arrigo from Midlothian.  They were in Las Vegas for a vacation.  We made arrangements and drove the 5.5 hours to see them.  First of all the drive was beautiful.  If you look on a map we basically took 93 from Mesa to Las Vegas.  This is all desert driving.  The land scape, while all desert, changed from flat to rolling hills to up and down thru mountain passes and to rocky boulders and sharp buttes and rock formation.  The flora changed from shrubs and low growing cacti to  Suguoia cactus.  The changes happened slowly but noticeably.  It was beautiful.

While the visit with Ben and Carol was definitely the highlight, the 2 shows we saw were amazing.  We saw Menopause the Musical.  It was absolutely hilarious.  We also saw cirque du soleil; Love.  It is an amazing performance based around the Beatles music.  Awesome.

This is why we like to know if any of you are taking trips.  We may be able to get together.
