Magazine article.. and this year's journey..
Well because of this blog I was asked to be interviewed for a magazine article.. well the article came out yesterday and is online here
We are locked in for this year's vacation.. this year the Agan's will be retracing some steps in order to visit some new parks in places we've already been. In July we are going down to Washington DC to see the Nats play the Mets. We've seen the Nats at RFK, but not at the new park yet. By popular demand of the kids we are going to 'camp' again which for us means a cabin with A/C at a campground. Not exactly what I would pick, but once in awhile you have to cave in.. We'll be staying near my brother's house in Northern VA near the Bull Run battlefield. I typically like to be right in the middle of the action, but when you are camping, you can't exactly sleep on the National Mall.. unless you dress like homeless people..
Instead of one big trip, this year we are doing two mini trips.. the second will be to New York CIty to see the Mets and the Yankees at their new homes. Since we live within day trip vicinity of New York, we've never done a lot of the touristy things in the city like we have elsewhere, so this time we are going to do just that. We are staying at a hotel right near Times Square and are going to try and take in as much of the Big Apple as we can in 4 days along with 2 ball games. This trip will happen in August.
I've already secured tickets to all the games and thanks to the new stadiums it's nosebleeds in the Bronx and Queens for us. Thanks to stubhub it's at least decent nosebleeds.. right behind home plate at Yankee and right above 3rd base at Citifield. Washington is an easy ticket score so I got those off the website and got down near the field just past 3rd base. I could have scored primo tickets to both NY games on the Yankees and Mets websites, but at $1000/seat I think I'll pass.. I guess most people will as those seats are available for just about every game. The 'cheap' seats are gonna be scarce.
Hopefully as the season progresses, I'll get back to chronicling our previous adventures..
