Penn State Spring Break Trip - Day 2


On Tuesday, the day started with breakfast at the Waffle Shop. Then it was time to climb Mount Nittany.

At the base of the mountain, they were ready to head out:


With their walking sticks that they found, the hike was a breeze:


Pete spotted the first overlook marker (which was also the first geocache):


The view from the first overlook included Beaver Stadium and the entire campus:


Pete and Dad spotted a suspicious container under a pile of sticks just off the trail:


The boys paused for contemplation when reaching the summit:


Sam decided that climbing Mount Nittany was the biggest accomplishment so far in his life (not counting capturing legendary characters on Pokemon).

They skipped lunch and hopped on the bus to the new softball stadium in East halls.  The Lady Lions lost to Pittsburgh in the front end of the double-header.  The view was great from the second row:


See if you can tell who was having more fun than the other ("I'm bored"):



They decided to skip the second game and play baseball catch in the quad right next to Dad's old dorm:


Then they had dinner at Roxie's in Findlay Commons, topped off with dessert from the Creamery.  Then it was time to take the bus back to the hotel:
