New York City!

We decided to take one last long road trip before the new baby arrives and thought that there would be no better place to go than New York City! We wanted to see a Yankees game in the original Yankee Stadium and since they are replacing it starting next year, it was an easy choice to go there sooner rather than later. We ended up going with Ali and Susie and met Charlie (Susie's boyfriend) there. It was a great trip and the Yankees won the game we saw! Yay! We did some pretty touristy things (like going to the top of the Empire State Building) because we figured we should do the things that dad is always too embarrased to do as a REAL New Yorker when we go with him! We stayed right by Times Square so we spent time there, walked all through most of the famous districts, and ate at some really amazing restaurants and street carts. We got to spend part of an afternoon in Central Park which Ray LOVED! They had a fountain for kids to play in and Ray wasted NO time joining the fun...even though the water was really cold and the air temperature wasnt very hot! It ended up being a perfect "last hurrah" and a great start to the summer. Cant wait to go back and see a game in the NEW Yankee Stadium with our new little one. :o) Here are a few photographic highlights...
