Cooperstown 2017

We went to Cooperstown NY with our friend Tom and his wife. We had originally planned to also go with George Bean and his wife but they cancelled at the very last minute because of an illness. 

We met up with Tom and Joanne at the Bed and Breakfast where we were all staying for the weekend. We arrived Friday afternoon and went out to dinner at the Bocca Osteria. We had a great time catching up.

We spent most of the second day Saturday at the Baseball Hall of Fame. We really enjoyed ourselves. Becky had never been there before. I had been there with Sean about ten years earlier. The exhibits were amazing. 

We also enjoyed walking around the town.

Later we went to the Blue Mingo Grill for dinner.

On the third day I was disappointed to find out that the Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown was not open to the public because of a private event. If I had known ahead of time about this situation then I would have gone there on Saturday and saved the Hall of Fame for Sunday. So I didn't get to tour the brewery and have a meal at their famous restaurant. Bummer. Next time.

So instead we took a boat tour on Otsego Lake and up to the Glimmerglass State Park and had a very nice time but I would have liked to had visited Ommegang Brewery.
