.......More Parks.




These are two of my favorite ball parks....but for completely different reasons. I'll add a story about each park when time allows. For now, it's bedtime. (I have no idea why everything is underlined tonight.

'Coming up for Air....'

Hi.

I know it's been a while since our last post and, while being busy is not a great excuse, we have been very busy.

Besides handling the usual rush as another school year comes to a close, I've lost my head and accepted jobs as a public speaker, serving as a motivational speaker to all the area
educators a couple months ago and now, I'm preparing to deliver the Commencement Address at an area High School Graduation.

If that isn't enough, I've also resurrected a career I closed over 25 years ago, as I
signed on to broadcast baseball games this spring for the local (KXPO) radio station. I'm a little rusty....but it sure has been fun. And, I can use my great seat at the ballgames to capture some nice action shots, while describing the action over the airwaves.







It's a pretty good 'gig' if you like baseball.


Enough said. Here are a few more ballparks Linda and I have traveled to and photographed these past couple of years.




Safeco Field in Seattle. An engineering marvel, as on those rainy Seattle days a roof slides over the top of the park ensuring the fans that the game will go on. The night we were there it was a beautiful Northwest evening.



What can you say about Yankee Stadium that hasn't already been said a thousand times. You could sense the history of the place as soon as you entered. We even saw a 'grand slam' on this sunny afternoon.



Miller Park in Milwaukee is another park where you are guaranteed a game because of the ability to close the roof. It was another nice night when we were there so it stayed open. We even tailgated with the locals. The 'sausage race' was a definite highlight!



We saw US Cellular Field the season the White Sox were to win the World Series. We could sense the excitement in the air!

As for travel-ography.com. We'll be in Boston with a great group of travelers over the 4th of July....and....we still have some seats available for our trip down to Minneapolis to see Beth Moore Living Proof Live on July 18th and 19th. Just call us at 701-352-1810 if you'd like to join us for this wonderful event.
