cooperstown, ny




I know, it's a bit delayed. However, it's been super crazy busy (as always)

We went to Cooperstown for the induction of Ricky Henderson a few weeks ago. he is Philip's favorite ball player from his youth and we couldn't think of anything better than having Phil spend the weekend with his own father and our boys.



It was the first time we stayed in a hotel with Adam. We had to bring LOTS of stuff including medical equipment. The hotel was very friendly and posted a sign alerting others that we had oxygen in the room. 

Cooperstown  has no parking normally and so they really had no parking during the induction weekend. We had a hard time finding handicapped spots, but we managed with the stroller to bring it all with us. 

On the way to Cooperstown, we stopped by a cave - Howe Caverns. It was a nice spot to spend the morning. The kids got a break from the car ride and we had a nice picnic lunch. It had like an hour or so tour of the cave- including a boat ride. They don't allow any bags down into the cave, but they were friendly and allowed an exception once we explained Adam's needs and the problem of being 135 feet underground without some of his stuff. They allowed Phil to carry Adam's backpack with an ambu-bag and some emergency supplies. That was great to be all included as a family. We did split up when the boat ride came. Adam can't do any sort of boat- so he went back up to the surface.  All in all, they were great there!

We did it!
