NYC

It's been a long time coming but I'm finally going to post some pictures of our visit to NYC to see Jenn and Marc. We had a BLAST and actually squeezed in more than we had planned for... which was awesome. Since we arrived on Friday before Jenn and Marc got off work, we did some sight seeing on our own. The first stop was at Ground Zero. Here's what it looks like now-- Basically a large construction site. It's amazing how large of an area it is.

Large posters hung depicting what the new towers will look like when construction is finished in 2012.

This memorial is at Ladder 10, right near where the twin towers stood. I imagine these brave firefighters were one of the first to the scene.


Then we headed to Wall Street, where cops were everywhere! Here we are in front of the New York Stock Exchange.

Looking up Wall St.

This gives you a good idea of what the weather was like. It never rained on us but it always looked like it was going to.

After eating an awesome dinner at Mesa Grill (Bobby Flay rocks!) we walked through Times Square before grabbing some dessert.

Saturday's agenda included a Yankees game. Jenn and I were ready to go.

The new stadium is set to open next year. Just missing a few letters...

For comparison's sake, here's the outside of the existing stadium.

Our first look out onto the field.

Jeter and Damon

Zach and I after the game (with my new hat)! And a great game it was-- Yanks beat the Mariners 6 - 1.

After the game we stopped by Central Park to walk around...

...where we saw this guy painting an awesome picture of the park.

Thanks again, Jenn and Marc, for having us. It was so great to spend time with old friends. We miss you!
