Fort Davis Vacation Day 3

Day 3 was a full day of activities. We got a bit of a late start but headed into Fort Davis for a bit of shopping by Karen. There wasn't much open at the time so we headed down to Alpine for sightseeing and lunch.

The first stop was to Kokernot Field, the home of the Alpine Cowboys Semi-pro Baseball Team and a field with some interesting history (http://www.bigbendcowboys.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=5&Itemid=3).

I'll post video of the field later today. One of the biggest claims to fame for the field is that Satchell Paige pitched there at some point in his career. The field itself is modeled after Wrigley Field in Chicago. If you ever get a chance to visit the field, its definitely worth a stop.



After the field, we shopped downtown Alpine and had lunch at the "Bread and Breakfast." A good meal and excellent service. We intended to go to the Woodward Ranch (http://www.woodwardranch.net/) but the weather turned south on us so we headed back to Fort Davis for a bit of rest before heading out that evening.

After a short rest, the boys and I headed back to Alpine to watch a movie at the Rangra Theater. We saw Inception. We arrived back at the cabin around 1AM.

Today (Day 4) we will head to the Woodward Ranch so Karen can collect rocks and then will attend a baseball game at Kokernot Field. The Alpine Cowboys are in a playoff game with another regional team. Should be fun.
