Back from Williamsport, Pa.

Aug 26th, 2007 by Bill Burt

I am back after a vacation which included five days in Williamsport, Pa. for the Little League World Series. I will be answering questions about trip at any point. As I’ve noted a few times in columns over the last four years, the LLWS is one of the best experiences a family can have.

If you have a question about accomodations, the park, the experience, the hot dogs, the access to players, the tickets … Send it to me and I’ll respond in this post.

The championship game is going on as I write this. I’m assuming most of you are watching the game, too.

    Hi Bill,

    A friend from SOSH just told me about your blog. I have to say that I agree with him that it's among the very best Sox blogs I have read.

    With regard to the LLWS, I have a 9 and 5 year old and was thinking about making the trek next year. I was originally thinking about taking them to Cooperstown but this sounds like MUCH more fun.

    What's a typical day in Williamsport during the LLWS? Could a 6-year old really handle it?

    I am biased. We've been going (wife, son and myself) for four years now. It is by far our best family vacation, true Americana.
    Williamsport is a town still living in the 1970s-1980s in fashion and design, but the place is very clean and people as nice as can be. The facility at Williamsport is pristine. I was commenting before the first game of the tournament, the Walpole game in which the Rando kid made the catch, that Augusta National's fairways have nothing on the outfield grass at the LLWS.
    In a nutshell, you have to go. Your kids will be hooked and you'll have to go again. A 6-year-old can handle it. My son was 7 when we first went.
