One of the most enjoyable times I have during the summer months is taking my grandkids to a baseball game. Major League Baseball can be very expense, no matter what the team is you are going to see. I have been to Phillie games and Yankee games I Bring the bunch, and their friends sometimes and their fathers. It is definitely more than a dinner out on a Friday night for my wife and I. Trenton Thunder baseball is a Double A team of the NY Yankees . Being a fan of them helps to enjoy going . Taking a son or daughter ,my case grandkids, when they are the age they can play organized youth baseball, or a related field, i.e photographer for High School Yearbook , brings a certain excitement to each youngster. There is usually some type of promotion where kids get something when they come in, i.e.A players Bobblehead, Kids eat free coupon, or special time for player autographs. Anyway it is a lot cheaper than NY or Philadelphia game. Between innings there are youth contests on the field. Never seen a uncooperative, angry employee. All have been perfect especially talking to the younger ones there. Fireworks sometimes after the game. You looking for a relaxing, forget the problems type of night ? A Trenton Thunder game at Armor Hummer Field is the ticket.

My son and I visited on a wintry day and were entirely pleased that we did! The young guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable and patient with all of our comments and questions. He is a reenactor and I was as interested in his clothing as anything else! I didn't realize that the Barracks' original use was during the French and Indian War. The exhibits told the stories of what it was like to be a soldier or officer, and in the apothecary's room, our guide gave a fascinating presentation about the different strain of smallpox and how innoculation of the Continental Army occurred at the site. The receptionist is the gift shop was also helpful and informed! I'll take my grandkids!
