It's Up to You, New York, New York!

We here come Big Apple, and here we come Laura-Babes and Henry... more family! Scott and I took off for another road trip. Back home (some-what) for the both of us (some-what). We went through Long Island to pick up Babes from the airport and then drove to New Jersey to stay with our friends the Coombers. Oh the traffic, but we made it and had a great night sleep.

We woke up and got to see Kathy and Don, who were the dearest ever. Their son is getting married in 5 days and they still let us stay with them. How dear! Heart breakingly!

We took off for the train station - Ho Ho Kus - and went to Penn Station.

Then we took a taxi to Serendipity and meet up with Henry. After 2 frozen hot chocolates and a Can't Say No Sundae (peanut butter, banana, ice-cream delicious) we took off for Yankee Stadium (on a subway not nearly as clean as Boston's). Thank goodness we had Babes who knew those Subways like she lived there :)

The Stadium is HUGE!! Yeah, that's four tieres!

We got there super early so we could look around at the enormity of the place. It was raining a bit, but our seats were under an overhang so we got to stay nice and dry. It was a great game, for me, the sole Mets fan. We had a lot of fun!

After the game we got back on the Subway and enjoyed the entertainment of a couple of drunks. These two fans walked up the subway totally drunk and got into a conversation with some business men about who would win in a fight: a man or a German Shepard. It was hilarious!

We then walked around the city for a little and decided to hit up a comedy club with a piano bar that Jessie had told us about.

The Comedy was alright, but the piano bar was really cool. There were two guys each playing their own piano, but accompanying each other. They played really fun songs, classic rock and Babes and I danced our hearts out. After that it was back to Penn Station, the back to Ridgewood, NJ.

The next day we went to Times Square early in hopes of buying some cheap musical tickets. We had our hearts set of Mama Mia, and we got them! After we got the tickets we went and visited our Grandparents Harry and Judy. Judy was at work, but we got to chat with Harry for a bit, and Scott got to fix his printer. Harry loves his crossword puzzles, and it was getting annoying not being able to print them out and finish them; Scott now holds a special place in Harry's heart.

We headed from Harry's straight to the Musical. It was so much fun. I loved it, though the movie still might be better (its just because you can do more with a movie). We had a blast, but had to start back home right after.

On our way back to the car, we saw a street closed off for a bunch of stands in honor of Puerto Rican day. We walked around, got some delicious smoothies, ate some corn, and Laura got her meat... yummmm.

It was awesome being able to spend the weekend with Henry. We were sad to leave him, but hopeful he'll come up and visit us now.

Go New York!!
