Home Sweet Home!

We made it home after a 7 hour drive and of course hitting traffic through Chicago. It was pretty painless, except for the speeding ticket Andrew received just 5 minutes after leaving the hotel in Cleveland! I had a feeling one of us would get one sometime on the trip with all the driving, but we had gotten so close. J
 
We didn't go straight home though. We had to stop to see our new nephew, James Walter! It was a great way to end our trip!

He's so cute!! He slept most of the time we were there, but we did get a look at his adorable blue eyes!

We got souvenir cups from each stadium, except Citi Field (because they didn't have them), but we did get a free bobble head instead!

After attending games at 9 different stadiums, we discussed some of our favorite things. Our favorite stadium is a tie between Fenway Park for its nostalgia and Citi Field for its variety and quality of food and drink. There was also a tie between the best hot dogs—Fenway and Citi Field again. The biggest rip-off was Yankee Stadium. Their hot dogs were half the size of all the others, but more expensive, and their beers were $11 each! The best deals on food and drink were at Progressive Field. After they loaded the baseball helmet with ice cream, they instantly won that award! But the same stadium gets the worst hot dog award!
It was a whirlwind trip, but definitely worth it! We had a great time (and stayed married J)! Maybe next year, we’ll do a west coast road trip--stay tuned!
