Day 25 – Tourist Trap

Decided I would just do some exploring today rather than hit up some of the attraction sites, I want to avoid spending too much money beyond what I’ve already committed. As I found out this whole area is just one big tourist area, hotels, restaurants, and gift shops lining the whole road. I checked out some of the gift shops for the sake of it. It is amazing all the little trinkets they sell. There is never a lack of selection if you are looking to take something home.

The other thing I noticed is everywhere is advertising that they sell tickets to all the attractions. I did not look into the price difference but you have to wonder how much variation you could find.

I decided that I would walk to the ballpark take in some scenery, it is about 4 miles, took me about an hr to get there. One of the nice things when I’m on the road, time isn’t as much of an issue.

I took a walk around the complex before the game and there has got to be at least 12 ballfields, plus there are batting cages, a small tennis stadium w/additional courts around it, and lacrosse fields.

After the game I went to the restaurant they have across from the stadium. They have an interesting way of ordering your food. They have cash registers at the entrance where you place your order. They then give you an electronic card that you take to any table. Each table has a card reader where you put your card in one slot to send the order to the kitchen, then you put the card in another slot to let them know what table you are at.
