So you know how I was talking about how this hotel is very different from our usual Super 8/ Motel 6 kind of lodgings? Well, we apparently chose well...

Dontcha Know
Hooray for Minnesota! Or something like that. We made it here to the "Grand Hotel Minneapolis," which is right in the heart of downtown. It's pretty swank, what with 3 different wallpaper patterns (not counting the bathroom), a big futuristic-looking (yet comfy) leather chair, and wine-tastings every day in the lobby. Not our usual style in lodging, but I'm sure we will find a way to make the best of it.
Rich posted the trip itinerary, which is, of course, subject to change. This first week of the schedule won't change, but the tail end is undecided and flexible, so stay tuned to see what wacky adventures we embark next!

The Hot Dog Page
Hey all.
The Ball Park Hot Dog Page is back (at the right)!
Ratings from the 2009 trip are back up (although photos are most likely gone forever) and we'll be adding to it after this weekend's games.

Safely in... Gary, Indiana?!
We made it! After 14+ hours on the road, we are more than halfway to Minneapolis. Only 8-ish more to the Twin Cities. Let's hope the Chicago traffic isn't as disastrous as the last time we were in the area. However, despite our best efforts (and I mean that- we did try), we are spending the night just outside of Gary, Indiana. It was either that or make a 30 mile detour. So... Gary it is.

We left at 7 this morning, and are now in traffic outside of Scranton (or is it Wilkes-Barre?).
The goal for today is at least 14 driving hours. That would put us more than half-way to Minneapolis.
Oh, and we've added a stop to our itinerary for Sunday 7/3. Check out the link:

Ah, the elephant in the room...

Karyn & Rich's 2011 Road Trip
Hello everybody. Welcome back to the blog!
As many of you will remember, Karyn and I blogged our 2009 Baseball Road Trip here (more on that in a later post). So many people responded positively since then so we decided to do it again.
This year's trip is not as grand in scope as the 2009 trip, but we're certainly looking forward to it. As you'll see, it's very much a continuation of the 2009 Ball Park trip. Here's the (rough) itinerary:
