Saturday, August 30, 2008 - Wappingers Falls, NY to Troy, NY

Heading upstate today to visit Scott and Christine, but first a stop at a farmer's market for some fresh locally grown fruits and veggies.

And lunch at the Eveready Diner, recommended by Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

Another farmer's market? OK, we'll bite.


With a petting zoo too.

Next stop is Troy, NY for the Tri-City ValleyCats.

But it was a dog's night, Bark in the Park.

The field

And the dogs.



Lupo's got some good food.

Stephanie's making friends again.

Hi Christine and Maco.



Making friends.

And getting up on the dugout.

Maco made it to the big screen.

Elvis has not yet left the building.

How far upstate are we?

Really cute dog, despite the appearance of glowing eyes.

In the top of the 9th, the entire stadium lost power. Minutes later, everything was being re-booted.

And a few fans stuck around for the final couple outs.

All the scoring was earlier, but at least they got the final score right. The Tri-City ValleyCats (A for the Astros) beat the Vermont Lake Monsters (A for the Nationals).

Mascot taking a victory lap?
