New York Trip...

Home sweet home we are.... Glad to be back, and we had a fabulous time in New York City as expected! The weather was great, the hotel was wonderful, and the game was spectacular. My older son was mesmerized, and never once left his seat during the entire game -- later he told us that the whole time he was announcing the entire game in his mind!!!

On our way home, we took our time. We drove through Philadelphia and made a stop at Phillie's Stadium. It was a baseball vacation I suppose. And you can imagine how much the boys enjoyed this trip! I managed to make several sandwiches in the car like mom used to make, and my boys requested we stop for "picnic" every so often. It was just great!

Nothing new on the homefront, still waiting for my family room carpet to be replaced. Never a dull moment I tell ya! Looking forward to the nice long weekend. Plans to spend it at my sister's house on Friday, then we'll have some family over on Saturday. Weather seems to be looking up! I've certainly missed you all, but I must tell ya, I've been one busy lady. Glad to be home, and hope to catch up with all of you really soon! A few pics to share.

Phillie's Stadium was closed, but we found two very nice gentlemen who work there who were gracious enough to let us in to see it. That was a nice treat!

We spent an afternoon in Central Park, it's just beautiful!

Carriage Rides at Central Park - we didn't take one Yankee Stadium after the game
My handsome boys at Yankee Stadium after the crowd cleared out!
Notice they are sporting Yankee gear that we risked our lives
to find in a sport shop in the heart of the Bronx.
HA - it wasn't that bad.

Inside of the stadium - the night was perfect!
Here is our hotel - Doubletree in Fort Lee, just minutes
from Yankee Stadium
Some shots of downtown NYC - you have to be there to
experience the vibe!

  6. Ok - just found your blog & loved the NY pictures. I had to show my son, who is a huge Yankees fan - he was very jealous.

    I'll definitely be back.
