Cooperstown/Lake Placid, New York.

Copperstown is known for one thing. Baseball. As the birth place of baseball, naturally the Baseball Hall of fame would be here. Everything in this town had to do with baseball. Everything. Except for the fact that Cooperstown is Rachel Ray's home town as well. I would have never guessed.

First stop, The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Pearce, Wendi and Eric.

The boys were in heaven!

There was almost every world series ring on display. Bling. Bling.

My team, the Toronto Blue Jay's, won two World Series in a row, and maybe a third if there was no baseball strike. I was lucky to be at the game when they won the pennant. Go Blue Jays!

For lunch and dinner we ate at Rachel Ray's recommendation, Alex & Ika Restaurant. And we weren't disappointed. It was amazing food. We walked the main street and browsed thru the baseball shops.



We got Pearce a custom baseball bat.

We went to the first baseball field, the birth of baseball, Doubleday Field.

This is when the gang had to split up. Grant and Amy had to drive back to Toronto to catch their plane back to Utah. While we continued on to Lake Placid and Montreal. Living far from family we rarely get to have this much time together. We really enjoyed hanging out with Grant and Amy. Thanks for being our travel buds.

On our way out of Cooperstown. Beautiful colored trees lined the winding road, lakes and rivers all the way to Lake Placid.

Gorgeous water. But cold.

Lake Placid. Home to the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Games.

Fun on the mountain without snow!

We decided to fast forward our time in Lake Placid and drive on to our next destination, Montreal. If you noticed we will make a complete circle when we eventually head back to Toronto.
