Cooperstown Day 1

We arrived in Cooperstown last night after a long day of travel... and found out right away that this small town in rural New York shuts down very early. We could not find a single shop, restaurant, or convenience store open at the late, late hour of 8:45 PM. And we could not find our bed and breakfast either! Finally, though, we inquired at a little restaurant that was closing down for the night, and they pointed us in the right direction. Once we got to the Nelson Avenue Pines B&B, we found our lovely attic suite, complete with two bedrooms, a kitchenette, and a terrific view. This morning, we got up around 9 for our proprietor's yummy breakfast. Later, we ventured out in the 40-something degree weather for a visit to Cooperstown proper. We decided to check out the Wax Museum, which was actually pretty cute...


Here is Jared with the "Holy Grail" of baseball cards: a T206 Honus Wagner...
Me, with a wax Madonna from A League of Their Own.
We then spent a couple of hours at the National Baseball Hall of Fame, checking out the inductees plaques, but we'll be back tomorrow for a longer visit followed by a more detailed post...
