The Big City..

How we spent our Saturday....in the Bronx and New York City.

On Thursday, I happened upon someone that was selling their Yankee tickets for Saturday. As we have not made it to a game this season, and it is the last season in this stadium, we jumped at the chance to go. Even though it has been a rough season, there is something about watching the Yanks in Yankee Stadium, and it is the same no matter how many times you go. We take the subway in, which Hayden loves (and you'll see that he made a new friend as usual) and it drops you off right by the stadium. The new stadium is being built right next to the old one and it was pretty awesome to see the two side by side. The pictures from outside were taken with the new stadium in the background. We sat about 25 rows up from the field along the 3rd base foul line. The pictures inside show a lot of empty seats, that is only because the Yanks were down 7 to nothing and I took the picture in the 8th inning. Prior to that, pretty much every seat was full! Of course we had to eat while we were there. The food tastes so much better when it's cooked in Bronx water. They have the best chicken fingers and hot dogs (and pretzels and ice cream for Hayden). After leaving the game, we headed to Times Square. Hayden wanted to "conquer his fear of the dinosaur" in the Toys R Us there. It is a very large, moving with sound effects, dinosaur from Jurassic Park. All the times we were there before, he has been terrified of it. But not this time! We tried to eat in the city, but as usual on a Saturday night in Times Square, the waits were about 2 hours. So we decided to head out of the city and stopped in Jersey for dinner before heading home. We left the house at 8:15 am and returned home around 11:30 pm. A long tiring day, but so worth it. Please enjoy the pics from our day!
