Cooperstown and Oneonta

After a short two hours Thursday morning, Jason and I finished packing the little guy and said our farewells. It was about 11:30 am when we arrived at the Roscoe diner (an old time favorite for my family). After our burgers and shared fries, Jason and I were ready for our adventure to really begin. Following Mr. Garmin, we drove around Cannonsville reservoir. The first thing I noticed was the low water level. Needless to say I was determined to stop; I can’t miss out on a photo opt. We drove until we saw a boat launch. We followed the a little dirt road down to probably the most desolate part of the reservoir. Making our way out on to the cracked but moist bottom of the reservoir, I was able to get a few great photos!

As Jason became eager to get to our first destination, the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown NY, we proceeded to continue on our journey.

Having never been to Cooperstown before, I found it quite quaint. Unfortunately, we didn’t spend too much time walking around town (we still had a long four hours of museum to tour). We did, however, decide to park a few miles away from the museum, which allowed us to walk by some beautiful old homes, the ball park, a few restaurants, and shops.

Finally arriving at the baseball hall of fame felt like a relief.  With our AAA card we were able to both tour the museum for about 30 dollars. I’m not too into baseball but the welcoming movie on the second floor definitely put me in the spirit to enjoy the three floors full of baseball history. Jason on the other hand looked like he was a kid in a candy store, making sure we didn’t miss a section. It was interesting seeing all the memorabilia but the baseball game photos on the first floor were definitely my favorite part!

After visiting the gift shop and stopping at a pizza joint for dinner, Jason and I made our way back to the car and headed out to see Brit in Oneonta.

I think our visit in Oneonta was a bit too much fun and definitely made me miss being at Plattsburgh. All my life I’ve heard about the “fun times” my mom had in college there so I had strict instructions by mother dearest to have a drink at the OST (OS teas are deadly). Taking the bus back to campus, Jason and I decided to spend our first night in the little guy! Woot Woot so much fun (even if I woke up paranoid of every sound). After another day of relaxing and experiencing the Oneonta lifestyle we decided it was time to hit the road.
