Once we decided that Lee would compete at Asylum Power, our respective duties became very clear - his job was to concentrate on the meet and come away from his first competition with a lot of experience; my job was to scope out the area, book the hotel and figure out ways to keep the girls occupied while we were up there. I was excited about the idea of seeing a bit of upstate New York, an area that we really haven't been too, and I knew that the foliage would be gorgeous. And because I know a few people who grew up in that area of New York, I reached out to them for ideas about what to do with the girls. The response? A blank stare. You see, there's really not much in this area of New York, not much of anything. In fact, other than the foliage (which we couldn't really enjoy because it was pouring on the way up and pitch black on the way home), there was nothing there. When I stated this in a Facebook post that morning, someone cleverly pointed out that WE were there. Below are a the only non-meet pictures that I took (with iPhone, so apologies for the quality).
The family diner where we had breakfast on Saturday morning - it was excellent and the owners were so friendly!
Yes - the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame is in "downtown" Amsterdam - it was open when we went by so we didn't get the chance to check it out.
Big Heart, Small City - that's Amsterdam. Tribes Hill isn't big enough to enough have light posts, so there were no banners....

Hey, my cousin lives in Amsterdam! Well, in the middle of nowhere NEAR Amsterdam, Mariaville, on a 40-acre farm by herself, with only the animals to keep her company. Yep, you're right, not much going on in Amsterdam. :)
