Go Yankees!

Ms. Tricarico with her dad and brother.

This past weekend I went to Baltimore, Maryland.  Baltimore is a good meeting spot for the people in my family who live in Virginia and the others who live in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.  We have been planning this trip since last summer.  Most of my family members happen to be Yankee fans.  The New York Yankees played baseball against the Baltimore Orioles this past weekend.

I really love visiting the ballpark.  A ballpark is another name for a "baseball stadium".  My favorite memory of the entire school year was when so many students came out one night to watch baseball with me.  The Somerset Patriots have a great ballpark to visit right near our school.  It is fun to spend time with friends and family while cheering on a favorite team.  Many ballparks have some foods I like to treat myself to once in a while too.

Camden Yards is the name of the ballpark where the Orioles play in Baltimore.  Thirteen of us met in Baltimore to have fun together: my two sisters and their husbands, my niece, my brother, my mom, my dad, my uncle, my aunt, my cousin and her friend.  We had great seats in a shady area so we would not get too hot.  We all whistled and cheered loudly for the Yankees...except for my cousin Brittany.  She happens to be an Orioles fan.  We think it is ok to pick whatever team you would like to cheer for, so we were ok with that.  The Yankees ended up winning, which was a wonderful ending to the game.

Have you been paying attention?  How many states has Ms. Tricarico visited so far?  Leave the correct answer in the comments and I'll send you a postcard from my next trip!
