We began this year's epic roadtrip in Jersey City, NJ with an epic breakfast at a DDD recommendation, The Brownstone Diner. It really is a pancake factory! Yummy!!!
This street lived up to its name.
Hey Lady!
Dirty Jersey lived up to its name too, and we were attacked by an overpass.
We considered it...
And then we got to DC.
Our first game is at Nationals Park, the 3rd major league home stadium we have been to for the Nationals/Expos organization.
So, can you guess what team was playing tonight?
We ran into some friends there. Hi Jacob! Hi Jason!
Jacob had so many goals for his big day at the ballpark.
It was a celebration of Black Heritage and the Negro Leagues and they had all sorts of memorabilia and booths.

Satchel Paige

Inside the park
Our seats were somewhere over there in the sun, so like many we found some shade to hide in.
We didn't talk to him.
Todd and Abe. There was a serious beard competition going on.
Stephanie and Tom.
What we ate.
They have a Beer Pen.
Which is good because it's always the Thirst Inning somewhere...
Some Presidents (and some guy).
It's the Presidential Race!
Jacob and Jason were riveted to the action.
A bunch of Yankees fans at the Mets/Nationals game.
Despite a late Nationals rally, the Mets won.
Happy quasi-Mets fans.
Fireworks about to start, everybody to the 3rd base side.
GREAT to see youse guys! Jacob will be excited that his 'day of game' checklist will now live forever!!
