Vacation 2011

Over the last three weeks...

I saw a really huge bat:

Louisville Slugger Factory & Museum

 I put my feet up in Bryant Park:

I (finally) saw Wicked. 

Wicked the Musical

I hiked into a chasm: 

Ausable Chasm

I hiked up a mountain: 

Whiteface Mountain

I sat on a private beach on a private island: 

I hung out with a bunch of baseball memorabilia: 

Baseball Hall of Fame

I stayed in a house overlooking the Potomac River: 

I hung out at the Jack Daniel's Distillery: 

Jack Daniel's Distillery

Now back to the real world...

DJ3K!

What a wonderful day to be a Derek Jeter fan.

He hit a solo game-tying home run for his 3,000th career hit.

He is the first Yankee to reach 3,000 hits.

He was 5-for-5 in the game.

He had 3 singles, one home run, and one double.

He even stole a base.

He drove in the winning run in the 8th inning.

He did this at Yankee stadium...

the day before I leave for vacation...

on the first day of my free trial of MLB TV...

so I could watch history happening live.

I have been watching him play for 14+ years...

and I've loved every minute of it!
