Forts, Baseball and QVC

Oct 9...This is another drive day to get to our next destination of Saratoga Springs, New York.  On the way is Fort Tyconderoga so we decide to check it out.  We didnt realize there would be a charge of 15.00 per person to get in.  Arlen must have really work wanted to see this as he paid the money to go in. During the American Revolution, Fort Tyconderoga, was the scene of Americas first major victory and the U.S. northern strong hold protecting New York and New England from British invasion of Canada. It is located high along a hill overlooking Lake Champlain and it is really an impressive site to relivee what happened there.  They have reinactments which add to the whole experiance of the day. After a nice lunch at the Fort cafe we got back on the road to our home for the night Saratoga Springs.

Oct 10...Saratoga Springs is one of the towns and race tracks for Horse racing.We found out it was closed for the season so we departed for our new destination the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.  This place is a must for the baseball fan.  There are 3 floors that store and display everything from the Negro and Women's Leagues to the present and past stars memorabilia and statistics. Here you can relive cherished baseball memories and favorite moments. After, we check out the Museum shop before departing for some lunch. We decide we only want one thing for lunch---a HOT DOG.On the road again to travel to Carbondale, Pennsylvania to spend the night. We chose to take the freeway to get there faster  but it is Friday afternoon with construction zones with lanes down to one so it takes us 3 and half hours instead of 2 hours and 15 min on unfamiliar roads to our hotel in,way the heck out there Carbondale.  No more freeways late in the afternoon.  Now I see why Arlen likes back roads.

Oct 11...This day is unforgettable for me as it is the day when we are driving to West Chester, Pennsylvania to go on the Studio Tour of QVC!!!.  We get there in time to buy tickets for the 1:00 tour and have time to shop in the QVC store before the tour.  They gave us a 5.00 coupon towards any purchase of 30.00 or more.  Of course I shopped.  Then it was time for the tour, it was really something for a QVC shopper to see as it gave every detail from when it first started in the 1970's until now.  We got to be in on a live show which was very exciting also. At the end they also handed us a souvenir of our tour with the QVC logo on it Way Cool!!  I LOVE QVC, the tour made me wish I worked there.  After we went to lunch and since we were not going to go in to Philadelphia we had to have our Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich in West Chester.  On to Frazier to our motel for the night. WHAT A FABULOUS DAY!!
