When working at Lotus, I was fortunate and so grateful these guys allowed me to join them on their road trip of 5 baseball games in 5 days. But it was so much, much more. We travel by a rented van, drove from Mass to Connecticut. Saw the sights in New York City; including going to the top of the Empire State Building and the Twin Tower to Windows on the World. We drove to Baltimore, I went to my first (and only) Hooters. Last stop in Philly, we saw the Liberty Bell, ran the steps of Philadelphia Museum of Art, we met a lot of people and had a lot of fun. It was much more than a sports trip; it has been a memory of my lifetime. Thanks guys!
