What’s more American than baseball and apple pie? The big name sport is one of this country’s favorite pastimes and often serves as the focus for many a family vacation. If you have always dreamed of sharing popcorn and Cracker Jacks with your kids while watching the boys of summer swing and slide, but you don’t live near a city that has its own professional team you might consider the following travel packages, which allow families to take a trip to the ballpark without breaking the bank.
SEATTLE
The Hotel Nexus, located in the North Seattle University District, is offering spectacular savings on game and room combos. For just $199 you will get a one-night stay plus two field-level tickets; transportation to and from the game; complimentary hot breakfast; and two souvenir Mariners glasses. The package is available for one-, two- or three-game options, and prices vary depending on how many nights you book. Reservations must be made by calling the hotel directly.
WASHINGTON, D.C.
With this deal being offered by Fairmont’s West End hotel you can visit legendary landmarks in our nation’s capital and watch the Washington Nationals play at the first certified “green” ballpark. The package includes one-night accommodations at the swanky 415-room hotel plus two Field or Terrace seats and roundtrip Metro passes. Rates are $239 or $279 per night depending on ticket selection.
