New Orleans Zephyrs





Last night we added a ballpark to the nationwide tour: Zephyr Stadium, home of the New Orleans Zephyrs - the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets. It was especially exciting because we got to watch the Rebuilt Brass Band play in center field after the game ended. But right now Dan and I are both pretty tired after driving into Alabama, which is our 7th state so far, so we decided to just leave you a list of road trip fun facts and slightly important things we have learned along the way.

It is important to check the radio for some local channels everyone once in a while, because you may find a gem such as 95.7 "The Bayou - New Orleans' only classic rock station"

You can legally drive really, really fast in Texas.

We have only lost one thing so far, and that was Dan's shampoo bottle back in Irvine

Trucker stops, cruise control and air conditioning make long road trips bearable.

It is just short of impossible to synchronize gas and urination levels.

Driving across the country brings you back to the days of playing Cruisin' USA on Nintendo 64, and you eventually discover that the video game is surprisingly accurate.

Tomorrow we head over to Atlanta to watch the Red Sox play the Braves. Schilling is on the mound as the Red Sox hope to extend their current win streak, but I'm not going to talk about their past three games for obvious reasons.

For your regional fast food search
make sure you check out The Varsity
when you are in Atlanta. They have about 5 or 6, but for the true flavor, I recommend the original location near Georgia Tech. Try the onion rings...mmmmmm. They buy more onions than any other restaurant in the US.
