The 3Bs: Brains,Beauty and Baseball

Flight into NJ & Bus trip to D.C.

My mom and I arrived at Newark,NJ airport around 10pm on July 23rd. Collected our luggage and took the hotel bus to our hotel. It was too late to meet with our Escorts on our bus trip 14 B so we went to bed.

We woke up at 530 am to leave on the bus by 7am. The bus ride was alright but cramped. We stopped in Maryland to use the bathroom and rest for a bit. It was really cool seeing all the different kinds of bridges,toll crossing (which there was a lot of them) and driving through each state. It seemed like we would drive 50 miles and then another toll crossing would come up every 50 to 100 miles. The bus was drived by “Diane” she was an awesome lady we finally arrived in Washington D.C. She dropped us off at “The Mall” in D.C. Our first stop for my mom and I was the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Here are some pictures from the museum.

Next stop was lunch at the “Old Post Office in D.C” to get a view from above.

We walked past the IRS (yikes!), the EPA and “The White House” on our way to the Washington Monument.

After resting for a bit before we headed to the World War II Memorial, it was really hot in D.C.

I will upload all my images to Flickr and Slide. As soon as I do that I will post a link to it on here and at my blog on MLBlogs.com“The 3Bs: Brains,Beauty and Baseball“.

Even walking in the shade it was hot as we walked on a path to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The last time I was there was when I was 10 years old.

That is me taking a picture and there is one with my mom in it too.

Finally our last stop before driving to our next hotel was “The Washington Nationals” who were playing San Diego Padres.

This is the end of our second day of the trip.

For A’s fans with iPhone you are in luck. I found an iPhone case (cover) with Oakland A’s on it.

Check it out. When I get back from my trip I will be ordering it.

Oakland A’s iPhone Case

4 days, 16 hours, 56 minutes and some odd seconds….

The closer it gets the more excited I get. Last night, I called my parents expecting to talk to them. But they were not home or answering the phone. So I left a message on the answering machine this is what I said ” Mom ad Dad, I love you! Thank you for paying for this trip for my birthday. This is a one in a lifetime dream of mine being able to goto the Baseball Hal of Fame and watching my favorite all time baseball player Rickey Henderson get inducted into the hall of fame.” It would be perfect if dad could go along but I am happy that mom is going with me. I told my parents that I started to cry at this point because my mom and I would be able to share this special love of baseball together.

After all my love for baseball is all due in part to my mom. She took me to A’s games when I was around 3 or 5 years old. I grew up with the A’s. Although we no longer have Season Tickets I do remember going to the games with my parents. Being able to share that with both of them is unforgettable.

Soon my mom and I will be leaving for New York to meet with the rest of the tour group. There are 3 others who I know from the Oakland A’s Boosters who will be partaking in this trip.

I will be living a lifelong dream soon………

celticbaseballbabe — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:12:35 +0000

to create an application or find a way so I can blog using my cell phone. I miss the old MLBlogs where we could post widgets and post via using our cell phones.

MLBogs and Apple should really think about adding that stuff.

Typing on my MacBook up at the bar of the Fitness Club I work for watching the game on the tv. Searching online for Statue of Liberty info and trying to decide which jersey I want to buy.

So I thought I would be posting more but work got in the way. I’ve been working as many hours I can to make money for my trip in July.

When I am not working I am working out and going to baseball games! Those 2 things are the only things that can relieve stress.
