A couple of weeks ago we went to NYC to visit Aimee, Matt, and Zach. It was Chris' first visit to the BIG city and he loved it.
We spent most of Friday afternoon in Central Park. It was really beautiful and the people watching was great. Chris played with Zach at the kiddy park. It was so cute watching them play together in the sand box. On Friday night we headed to Yankee Stadium. Armed with only a map of the city we hopped on the subway. Bronx or Bust! Well... we got on the wrong train and went all the way to Brooklyn. Yes that is right Brooklyn. 40 minutes out of the way. We finally asked some poor soul when the train was going to get to Yankee Stadium. He just stared at us like we were complete idiots and said, "You are in Brooklyn" and walked off the train. So we got off at the next stop and proceeded to head north again. 1 1/2 hrs later we arrived at Yankee Stadium. That place was crazy. Yankees lost but we had a great time.
Saturday was filled with typical touristy things in NYC. We went to the Empire State Building, had lunch in Soho, shopped on Canal Street, and paid our respects to Ground Zero. The night ended in Time Square where we took many pictures and dined at a yummy sushi spot with the Fernberger family.
The weekend ended as we sat in the Newark airport discussing our favorite parts of the weekend. Chris, of course, thought Yankee Stadium was the best and for me, it was toss up between shopping on Canal Street scoring several fake Prada, Fendi, and Dolce and Gabanna handbags and strolling through Central Park enjoying the views.
We can't wait to go back.
