Memorial Day

Joe and Ted got to head to the ballpark on Memorial Day to see the Twins play the Red Sox. We got there just in time for some touching tributes to our veterans and the National Anthem which is a must see activity for Joe due to the fireworks during the song.  We were also treated to fireworks after a Twins home run during the game they ended up winning 7-2. We had ice cream, as always, and caught the mascot race in the 4th. We finished the day with our trip to visit Sue where Joe got to stand at her organ while she played Take Me Out to the Ballgame. On the way home, Joe asked if we could go to the cemetery.  On any other day the request would have seemed odd, but it made sense today because on the way to the game we were stuck in traffic near Lakewood Cemetery where Joe saw a horse drawn carriage and lots of American flags.  So Ted wasn't too surprised the scene had stuck in the little man's brain. So we parked and walked around the cemetery which is very impressive. We went inside a large mausoleum building, walked to the GAR statue and grave site, and took a drive around the seemingly never-ending roads. A chance to explain to Joe more about veterans and a good end to our Memorial Day.
