Susan, the kids and I spent spring break driving northeast and seeing awesome things!
The weekend before last we drove to Louisville, Kentucky. There we visited the Louisville Slugger Factory Tour, the Topps Card Museum (inside the Louisville Slugger Factory), the Churchill Downs Museum and Tour, and the Big Four Pedestrian Bridge.
From Louisville we headed to Washington DC. While in DC we visited the Smithsonian American History Museum, National History Museum, Air and Space Museum, and National Archives. We also visited the Spy Museum and took a side road trip to Pennsylvania to visit the Stoogeum, the official Three Stooges Museum.
After Susan and the kids hit the road toward Oklahoma, I stayed behind and continued up to Buffalo, New York to meet my buddy Sean and his family. Sean and his family were excellent hosts and not only did I get a complete tour of their town (Tonawanda) but I also got to sample many of their favorite restaurants.
By the time we pulled back into our driveway we had added another 3,450 miles to Susan’s car and visited Missouri, Kentucky (for the first time), Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York. I just finished updating my States I’ve Visited page. I have four states left and expect to hit them all in 2015.
I’ll be posting a few pictures and recounting some of the museums over the next few days. For now… I rest.
