Well, here it is. The first post on my blog. This outlines the tentative schedule for our 2008 baseball stadium trip. We've separated them into several mini-trips so we can spend some time with our boys who will be house sitting for the summer. You'll see that we haven't included any Cincinnati Reds home games. We figure we'll catch a game whenever we're home. We also plan to visit National Parks and Museums along the way. That was the only way I could get Nancy to agree to join me on this trip. We'll decide which ones to stop at along the way.

That's it -- 29 stadiums (plus the Reds whenever). For those of you who are located near these stadiums, this is advance notice. Expect a drop in or at least meeting for a meal. If you'd like to join us at the stadium, let us know. If you have access to tickets, even better.
One last thing ... these are tentative plans. Changes due to weather or car trouble or some other random event are always possible. Bookmark this page and check back for updates.

Jay: Just wanted to day I was here. I dropped a note to friends in Atlanta and Chicago, to see if those day games are typically difficult tickets or not, and if so, any advice other than scalpers. Will see what I get back. Or do you have tickets for those 3 already? JEP
