As we drove thru NYC we realized that is is utterly amazing how many people live here. This trip was a whole different NY experience for us as we continued past the city and headed to a historical Westchester suburb, Tarrytown, NY. Our evening was capped off with a visit to Yankee stadium, the 5th to last game ever played in the house that Ruth built, Yankee Stadium RIP.

Today started with rain, and was packed with things to do. We started by leaving Cincinnati via Kentucky to pad our states visited stats. We headed north via Columbus and stopped there for brunch. It was the Saturday morning of the OSU and USC game and the town was quiet in the morning. We arrived in Cleveland in the afternoon and walked over to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Which was pretty cool. On our way back to the hotel we stopped into a dive and had unbelievably great sandwiches. We made our way over to the Indians game and saw the Indians loose their second game of the day. We capped off the night by watching the OSU-USC game in the lobby bar and ran into some Cleveland Browns fans. We learned about ... read more

The morning started out rainy as we traveled on. We went through Indianapolis for a nice lunch. From there we entered our new time zone when we crossed the Ohio border. We arrived in Cincinnati late in the afternoon. After walking to the river and peeking into Kentucky, we met some nice people at happy hour. They recommended dinner in the Mount Adam's area, which was a very quaint part of town. We pass that recommendation onto anybody who visits Cincinnati as well. 363 miles of travel in the day, 2,392 miles total. 64E to 70E to 65S to 465E to 74S to 52E to 75S.... read more
