As usual, another trip change

Cooper for some reason got really fidgity today, and bored, so we decided to change the trip to make it not so agressive for travel. 

We got up and went first to Digital Domain Stadium, home of the spring training for the New York Mets, and then for the Florida League St Lucie Mets-
We got a ball, and a pin for the park, but not a pin for the St Lucie Mets, as they didn't have one. 

Then, we headed down to Jupiter, to Roger Dean Stadium, home to the St Louis Cardinals and the Miami Marlins, but it wasn't open yet-  so we decided to go over to the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, which was a terrific fun visit.

We climbed the 105 steps and went through the museum, which was done very well-  got a pin there. 

Then, we got back to Roger Dean Stadium, and talked them into letting us wait until we got the lady to agree to open up the team store for us, got three balls, one for the Marlins, and one each for the Jupiter Hammerheads, and one for the Palm Beach Cardinals. 

Then, we had already decided to curtail the trip, milage wise, so we headed back up to Fort Pierce to the Fairfield Inn where we stayed last night, and got bunked in.  We decided to go to a Port St Lucie Mets game tonight, and they are playing the Charlotte Stone Crabs.  We got really good seats, right on the first row of the dugout, seats 1 and 2., sectiion 108.   


So we're resting up now, and will head for the game at about 5:15 or so. 

Tomorrow, then, we'll revisit the Canaveral National Seashore to get the missing stamps there, then stop in at Daytona Cubs perhaps.
