Finally, I can scratch “Go to Yankee Stadium” off my list of things to do. During the August long weekend, Shannon, Abby and I joined Jeff and Cathy in New York City. They were nice enough to put us up in a swank hotel in downtown Manhattan, and Jeff was also able to get us tickets to Yankee Stadium for a game between the Yank’s and Angels. For those who don’t know, this will be the last year for the historic ball park, as the team will be moving next door to a new stadium next season. We did all the touristy things in NYC. Took a bus ride around the city, road subways, sail boat tour around the harbor walked through Central Park, visited the World Trade Center, and walked the streets around Times Square/Broadway/etc. While we were in NYC, Shannon’s Aunt Barb, and cousin Brittany were in the same hotel and doing some site-seeing/shopping to celebrate Brittany’s Birthday. We had a lot of fun with the entire group, and now are counting the days till we can go back to the city and see the new Yankee Stadium and check out more of the sites that we simply didn’t have the time or cash to do on this trip. Thanks for everything Jeff/Cathy! Pics from the trip are HERE.
Since my last post, Fisherville Fun Day has come and gone. Once again, it was a lot of fun. Even though we got rained on a little bit. Abby loved the parade and pony ride. Thanks Brittany! And thanks Aunt Val/Uncle Brett for everything. Especially the spicy sausages. Pics from that day are HERE
Donna and Grant finally got their new place. Its only a couple hundred feet from my parents, but its still nice to see them out on there own, in their apartment. The place is coming along very nicely. Donnas compulsion to have everything match and ‘work together’ has come into play, and works very well. Congrats on the new place guys!
Lastly, its been a baby popping kinda of summer. Jim and Alicia had a baby boy, Andrew. Foxxxy and Melissa had girl number 2, Julianna. And Melanie and Jeremy had a boy, Michael.
