Day 1: Trip to Pittsburgh

We started our Baseball Odyssey today. Our plan is to go to Pittsburgh (PNC Park) to Detroit (Comerica Park) to Chicago (Wrigley, of course) to St. Louis (Busch Stadium) to Cincinnati (Great American Ballpark) to Cleveland (Progressive Field) back to Brooklyn (home) in a week, going to baseball games in each city. During our trip to Pittsburgh today, we stopped by East Stroudsburg University, where J went for undergrad. Thankfully, there was a Best Buy in town, so we could replace the cheap ass iPhone car charger we purchased on Amazon. In addition, we passed by the exit for Bucknell, C's college, and Happy Valley. With lots to talk about, two iphones, Map Quest, and Sirius satellite radio to keep us entertained, it was a lovely first day. It was made even better by the fact that we were able to see our friends, The Hicks Family on the road. We will hang out with them tomorrow and also see them Tuesday in Chicago to celebrate C's goddaughter's birthday. We even ended the night at a Pittsburgh area staple, Primanti Bros. Tomorrow is our first game at PNC Park. Excited to see the park, which looks beautiful. We'll see Roy Oswalt pitch vs. the Pirates.
