Ok...so we arrived in New York at 5:45 am on Friday.....not much sleep on the plane...put our bags with the concierge at the Windham Wingate, freshened up and hit the subway to Central Park..we started at 59th and walked the WHOLE Park, including the Museum of Natural History, and back to the subway at 59th!!! we walked for 8 entire hours! We had a blast and took a bunch of pics that we will post when we get home...After we were able to check into our room, we both "crashed" for a very needed 2 hour nap.
We freshened up then headed off to the subway again to find our way to Shae Stadium for the Mets game. Before we left the hotel , we asked the front desk girls how to get where we were going, and after doing their best to explain, and print off a google map, they say" have fun and try not to look so touristy".....since we were going to Queens, I told Donovan I think that means "dont look so white".....we laughed and headed out on another adventure!
I have a hobby of visiting all of the major league ball parks in the country, and collecting the team jersey and hat of the home team, so after I got the goods we headed to the hot dog stand, (We were starving!!! ) then to our seats right behind home plate!
It was a fun game, even though the Mets lost to the Atlanta Braves. At the top of the 8th, the Mets were behind by 6, and we were both feeling quite tired, so we left the stadium, and retraced our steps back to our Manhatten hotel, and climbed into a very welcome bed!
Saturday AM:
Well maybe it was more like noon, we left the hotel and did some shopping around 34th and Fashion Avenue, after fighting our way through tons of people, we couldnt really find anyhting to buy so we decided to head to SOHO.
Back to the subway, but ended up in Greenwich instead, we found much better shopping, and a really great place to eat, it is our hope to get more time there before we leave.
Tonight we got all dressed up and saw Wicked! We enjoyed the play so much, loved the story, but I felt I would have liked the music to be a bit more upbeat! slow, soft songs tend to make me dose...LOL, and I caught D doing the same thing!! However the creator of this story was genious! loved the new twist on the "Wicked Witch of the West"...If you have the opportunity to see it ...GO!!!
After the play, we took a ride back to our hotel on a bike and buggy thing....I Loved it!
