Albany in Review

So, last weekend I had the opportunity to visit Sean and Ali in Albany. Sean was nice enough to pick me up in Middletown and away we went. On our drive back to Albany, NY provided some really nice views. I had no idea how beautiful of a state NY is once you get out of that overrated, over populated city. Friday, after getting a quick tour of their home, we headed out for a late lunch that did not stop. We went to a bar and grill and then hit up a bar that had a pool table. Without saying, Friday flew by. I really dont have too many details.

On Saturday, when I woke up, Albany was covered in snow...uh oh. Sean and Ali better get used to that. Ali had to work but Sean and I had plans to head to Cooperstown, NY. It is only an hour away. I was especially exicted because this would complete my tour of hall of fames for all the american sports (baseball, football, basketball and bowling). I like to call them the big four. Cooperstown is in the middle of no where and I mean no where! Again, the drive really felt like I was in Colorado. That is how hilly it was. And Cooperstown had the feel of Golden, CO, a very small city that has a single road of downtown. The baseball hall of fame was amazing. The final room we went in had all the plaques with everyone inducted. It was by far the coolest room. That place is loaded with memorabilia. You really need to go to that place a few times to soak it all in. Sean and I were in there for a few hours.

When we got back, Ali was off of work! YEAH! She had a friend come over and we played some Euchre and had a few drinks. We then headed to a bar for the night. That next morning I flew home.

Albany was a blast. Sean and Ali have a nice house. They have a lot of work ahead of them on it but it has a lot of potential. Turn that attic into party room! It will rock!

Now, I completely choked when it came to using the world's largest bathroom...i did not use it...i froze. Sean and Ali were great hosts and I loved hanging with them.
