Our review on Campground Reviews:

Cramped campground, mostly seasonal

We stayed for one night and didn’t want to unhook our tow vehicle, but the staff who guided us to our site helped get us situated. I did not, however, appreciate being reprimanded for booking online and not calling to book a site “that would fit us.” First off, they advertise as being “big-rig friendly,” and 2, I didn’t see any sites that were longer than the one we were in, and we pretty much filled the entire site end-to-end. I’m not sure what “big-rig friendly” means to them, as all the interior roads were narrow and hard to navigate around the seasonal residents’ cars and other obstacles. Apart from the cramped nature of the sites, they did have lovely landscaping around the common areas and lots of neat garden art. We enjoyed walking over to the frozen custard place for dinner, but that alone isn’t enough to stay here again. We camped at Kewaunee RV & Campground in a Motorhome.

The food was tasty, but the campground was not great. We likely wouldn’t stay here again, though there weren’t a lot of good options in the area.

Our review on Campground Reviews:

Beautifully tended campground

We stopped here for one night and were delighted with our stay. The owners and staff were all very friendly and welcoming, where it truly felt like they wanted to help, not just as a matter of course. Check-in was a breeze, and then we were escorted to our site, which was clean and in good condition. The pull-through was long enough for our 40-foot motorhome and tow vehicle without having to disconnect. They offer food delivery to your site, which is appreciated after a day of driving, so we enjoyed pizza, fried mozzarella sticks, and milkshakes. All in all, this was a pleasant stop and we’d be happy to stay again. We camped at Scottsburg Raintree Lake KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

Baseball: Pittsburgh Pirates vs Chicago White Sox

We did a pregame tour and attended a game of the Pittsburgh Pirates vs the Chicago White Sox at the Pirates’ ballpark, PNC Park.

Jenn’s game summary:

We took a tour of the park before the game, and it’s a lovely ballpark. A beautiful view of the skyline and numerous neat touches throughout—plantings and artwork that tie the present to the past. The team has a rich history and shows much respect for its roots. The current team, however, is not good. Blown out by the White Sox, who are also one of the worst teams—an embarrassment. Still, the fans show up to root for “the Bucs”. Cute pierogi race between innings and a Warhol cam to salute a famous son of the city.

Our review on Campground Reviews:

Convenient stop on I-80

We stayed one night on our way through PA, and this was a nice stop along the way. We were in site 68, which wasn’t very level, but it was long enough before the steepest part of the slope that we didn’t need to unhook our tow vehicle (which is always annoying for one night). Some of the turns getting into the site were a bit sharp, and we had to thread the needle between the turn and a bunch of cars parked at the group site. I do so love navigating a tight turn with 20 people gawking at my skills, so I’m glad I could put on a show for them. Anyway, this was a nice quiet spot and we’d stay here again if we were in the area.

Be aware that there was massive construction on Hwy 26, with only one lane open the entire length of it, which made for some white knuckle driving to get in and out of the campground. We camped at The Bellefonte Campground in a Motorhome.

Baseball: New York Yankees vs Seattle Mariners

We attended a couple of games of the New York Yankees vs our Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium in New York.

Jenn’s game summary:

A very nice stadium. Even though it’s not the original one, they imbued it with some classic touches and filled it with old ghosts and memories. The game did not start well for the M’s, with Luke Evans giving up three runs in the first, which wound up being the number of runs they lost by. The Yankees starting pitcher, Schlittler, made his MLB debut and pitched five strong innings, striking out 7. The M’s went deep four times, including Cole Young’s first major league homer. It still wasn’t enough to overcome the early hole, alas. Pleasantly surprised by how friendly all the Yankees fans near us were—they seemed impressed by my scorekeeping.

Baseball: Boston Red Sox vs Cincinnati Reds

After our two tours of Fenway Park, we attended part of a game of the Boston Red Sox vs the Cincinnati Reds.

Jenn’s game summary:

Took two different Fenway tours before the game—one more history-oriented, one where we got to go on the warning track and then watch batting practice from the Green Monster seats. It was pretty fun to watch the homers go over our heads or come very near us. Not a bad vantage for a game, but spendy! We changed our tickets from grandstand seats to loge box ones and got to see three innings before the game was postponed due to severe thunderstorms. A pity, because I was really digging the vibe. The Red Sox did win it the next day.
