Winston-Salem

After getting the news I was going to Winston-Salem, I was driven the next day from Kannapolis to Winston's home field which is actually Wake Forests field. I got there on an off day, which was more like a travel day because we had a 8-9 hour ride to Wilmington, DE that same day.

So we all got on the bus at 5pm and headed off. We watched some crap movies such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and eventually got there in the early morning. Hands down the coolest part of the trip was driving through Washington D.C. I have never been there before and it was pretty awesome to see the Capital building, Pentagon, and a few of the memorials from the highway.

I started the second game of our double header at Wilmington, the royals affiliate and pitched well. I start in another double header tomorrow at home. After Wilmington we headed to Frederick Maryland to play the Orioles affiliate. We won 2 out of 3 games there and got home last night. Right now I am staying int he quality inn hotel but I will be moving in with my Aunt Lisa and that part of my family today. They live 20-30 minutes away in Mocksville. It should be great getting to know them better and of course having a free place to stay with family is a huge blessing I feel really thankful for the whole situation.
