Not Guilty

Not going to feel guilty because I have been so bad about keeping on top of this blog, just going to try to be better.

Here are a few photos from our vacation this summer.

We took 11 days to drive through the South East and see some baseball and return to Cave Mountain lake.

Friday/Saturday
Drive to Atlanta.
Uneventful except for the 2 1/2 hours it took us to get through downtown Chicago and the horrible Motel 6/Denny's/Waffle House experience in Elizabethtown PA (good movie, dump town).

 Saturday we arrived in Atlanta and went to a local Sports bar where they serve the local (Sweet Water) beer. We enjoyed the Cardinals vs. Philly's game on the TV and some wings... yum.

Sunday we drove up (down? over?) to Montgomery AL for some Dreamland BBQ before a Biscuits game. We hooked up with Cheryl and her boyfriend John for lunch.

Downtown Montgomery i lovely, it reminded me a lot of Downtown Beloit, quaint, storefronts and diners.

The BBQ was fantastic, we all ordered sandwiches, but it felt more like a half slab of ribs on some white bread. There was no way you could have picked that up and eaten it like a sandwich. We didn't have any trouble picking up the ribs!

After lunch we headed across the street to the Biscuits stadium. It's very cool, reminded us of a lot of those Building/Stadiums (Camden, Mud Hens, Akron). This used to be an old train depot. The only issue we had on the day was that it was Hot as Hell!

Cheryl had come up with fantatic tickets, second row on the third base side, but it wouldn't have mattered where we were, it was hot and sunny! Good thing there was plenty of cold beer.

After the game, we freshened up and then went to John and Cheryl's local watering hole, Nail on the Head, and drank way too much Yuengling. Meh... we're on vacation!

Next up... Guinette Braves.
