Compact garbage bin fits next to toilet

There isn’t a lot of room in the rear and mid bathrooms of our coach, so we looked for a compact garbage bin that would fit next to the toilet.

We found one on Amazon (but it isn’t available there anymore; there are similar ones if you search):

Garbage bin

It has a handle to remove the inner bin:

And a built-in toilet brush:

Baseball: Philadelphia Phillies vs San Francisco Giants

We attended a game of the Philadelphia Phillies vs San Francisco Giants, playing at the Phillies ballpark, Citizens Bank Park.

Jenn’s game summary:

Lovely, if cool, day for a ballgame. The Phillies Phanatic is the greatest mascot (sorry, Moose). The hometown crowd is very vocal and even boos their own players when they make an error, but otherwise, the folks we met were friendly and helpful to us out-of-towners. The park itself is rather mid-tier—no really “wow” factor, and we sadly didn’t get to see the homerun bell in action. Took over an hour to get out of the parking lot afterwards—craziness!
