The checkout from the AirBnB near Cooperstown, NY, was by 9:00, by far the earliest checkout time I’ve ever dealt with. I knew it was only a three and a half hour drive to our next AirBnB in Vermont and check-in there wasn’t until 4:00 (pretty late check-in.) I did find stuff to do on the way- read on for more.

I have been a baseball fan since before I was born. Literally. I have a picture of my dad and my 8 month-pregnant mom at one of the games of the 1974 World Series between the Dodgers and the A’s. As a lifetime fan of baseball, it’s only fitting that my bucket list should contain a trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

June 13 – 27
After our week-long visit to Gunnison, Colorado, and a brief three day visit to our home base in Ottumwa, the Greens Summer Tour of 2024 continued on with a trip to Cannon Beach, OR.
This part of the trip was so jam-packed with excitement that I’m going to break it into at least two blog posts. This is part one.
Breaking the Border!
Welp, we’ve finally done it. We’ve finally committed to leaving the country!
