We try to visit Ellen’s parents every three – four months or so, they live in Hilton Head SC.
When we had kids at home we would drive there, then for a while we flew, but lately we have returned to driving. However, now we try and see new sites and/or experience new events.
For example a few years ago, we visited Asheville, NC and took a tour of the Biltmore, https://www.biltmore.com/. a former Vanderbilt home and the largest home in the United States. For those who have not done so, well worth the trip.
This year we are doing a baseball trip.
On the way south, we plan to drop by Salem, VA, and see the Salem Red Sox play. On the way north, we will stay at the home of the Hickory Crawdads in Hickory, NC. While there we plan to attend the South Atlantic League All-Star game. While we will not get there in time to participate in the Fan vs All-Star cornhole contest, we will get to see a number of Washington Nationals prospects from the Hagerstown Suns.
One of the six Suns all-stars is catcher Spencer Kieboom. We really look forward to seeing Spencer someday in a Nationals uniform, such a great last name for a baseball hitter.
