The Baseball Trip 2024

 Day 5 - Saturday June 8

Rte. 42 East will take us most of the way from Charleston, WV to Charlestown, WV. Confusing, yes? This is mostly a travel day, except for a stop at the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races. We aren't staying for their races tonight, but we do want to see the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes. After that, we are heading to Washington D.C. for a baseball game between the Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves.

I put ten bucks across on Mindframe, and wouldn't you know it, he placed. I made $25.00. I am now up 2 dollars for the trip.

Random Observation from Randy: "I have weird dreams when I visit my sister. Last time there, I woke up in the middle of the night during a dream where I had to go to China to help them with their economy."

Next: D.C. and Major League Baseball.
