Bryson's NYC vaca

So, last weekend we had our fourth visitor since moving to New York. I think we showed Bryson a great time. We went to the Yankees game with some of his friends from Denver, which was absolutely awesome! We did some shopping(Gabe & I shopped vicariously through Bryson), our favorite shopping was custom designing puma shoes. We just had a lot of fun spending time together. Robin is already planning her second trip so that means that those of you who haven't made it out yet are past overdue!!

Yankee Stadium

Baseball has been a big part of the city of New York for a lot of years. In the early 1900's the owners of the Yankees decided they needed to build their own stadium in an effort to outdo the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers. So they did, and on April 18, 1923 the doors were opened to Yankee Stadium for the first game. At the time, most stadiums could seat about 30,000 people but Yankee Stadium was built to house about 60,000 and every one of those seats was filled on opening day. The fans weren't disappointed when the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox or when, during that game, the first Yankee Stadium home run was hit by none other than Babe Ruth. Some of the greatest players to ever pick up a bat have call Yankee Stadium home including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Micky Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra, and Tony Lazzeri just to name a few. Yankee Stadium has been a New York City icon ever since it's opening but it's time in the sun have come to an end. Today the Yankee's played their last game in the historic stadium, which is being torn down. However, Brooke and I were able to go see a game on Friday with Brooke's brother Bryson. It was a lot of fun to be there to experience the magic of Yankee Stadium before they bring it down. The Yankees won, and we had a great time. And of course we had to get peanuts and cracker jacks.

Date night on the Staten Island Ferry

Tonight we went out to dinner at a burger joint and rode the Staten Island Ferry. The weather is finally starting to cool down, so the temp. was perfect and there weren't many people riding on the third level deck. It was quite the romantic spot. I tried to get some p.d.a. out of Gabe but I didn't get far. He's way too concerned about what other people are thinking, we are in New York for goodness sakes!!

Daddy Doggie Time

Is Reggie not the best dog ever??...since we started working and being gone all day Reggie has been especially needy.

Weekend with Danny & Lynlee

We had a fun filled weekend with Danny & Lynlee. We toured the city, the National History Museum, the Met, Little Italy, walked the Brooklyn Bridge and ate at a couple bueno restaurants. Needless to say we packed a lot into 2 days. We are so glad that they got us out to see so much but mostly we're just happy that we got to spend time with them...although I am kind of bitter cuz they won the lottery tickets to see Wicked. You know, the most famous show on Broadway right now that costs at least $100!! Out of about 100 people they won orchestra seat tickets for $25! Lucky dogs!! Ridiculous.

We are a GREAT aunt & uncle!!!

We were a pretty good aunt and uncle before Jed & Brooke's baby was born but our greatness became official on Sunday afternoon. Our beautiful GREAT niece is named Annie. She is absolutely perfect.
