Long Trip, But We Made It

The bus pulled out of Bowling Green Ballpark about 1:15 Eastern Time this afternoon.  Twenty minutes up the road, we had about a 40 minute stop so the guys could get something to eat.  Then, the long journey to Eastlake, Ohio began in full.

Roughly 500 miles later, we arrived to the hotel just before 10:00 PM Eastern Time.  The bus ride consisted of two movies (both were way too loud), a pit stop at a rest area, and finally the Heat/Sixers game on satellite TV (a nice addition for the longer trips). 

Upon exiting the bus, just about everyone dropped luggage off in their room before going back out to grab a late dinner.  I'd imagine most guys are back in their rooms now, ready to put an end to a day that started at about 8 AM Eastern.  Imagine how much later it would be if the game hadn't been rained out today!

With that, I'm climbing into bed to fall asleep to the sounds of Baseball Tonight or SportsCenter, whichever of the two happens to be on ESPN currently.  Good night from Eastlake, Ohio.
