Oh no, it's raining again

It's funny that both previous baseball trip blogs have had weather themes (The Nor'easter and The Lake Effect) based on the region we were traveling in. This year I had a lack of time and a lack of brilliance, and never came up with a good weather theme that would span DC, New York City and upstate, and Ohio.

You see the generic result of my lack of creativity and time. Well, it turns out I could have used a rain theme. As everyone knows, we got rained out in DC. Yesterday's Yankees game had beautiful weather (I had to buy sunblock from one of the souvenir stands in the stadium) but then there was a torrential downpour afterward with hail and everything. And a rainbow afterward. Now we're sitting in the hotel -- we're slow to get going, and that's fine with us -- watching it pour rain outside. See photo at left, the view out the window. Hope it stops well in advance of tonight's Mets game. If not, you'll get pictures of us staying in the room and playing parcheesi.

Oooh! The rain stopped and the sun's out now. Let's hope it holds up because I have no idea how to play parcheesi and we don't have it with us anyway.
