Fast and Fabulous

So L is a HUGE NY Yankees fan. So we had been keeping up with the World Series and watching every game! So last week when the Yankees lost to the Phillies in Philadelphia I said jokingly, "How fun would it be to go to NYC for the game at the new stadium?" L just said " Yeah it'd be fun" and it was dropped. That was Monday night and the game was Wednesday. So on Tuesday morning I got up and checked out how many airline miles we had and Hilton Honors points. Well it turned out that we had enough

to get us to NYC and we had enough points for one night in a hotel. So I called Lance and he said ok let's go! So I booked our flight and hotel and got tickets to the game online. I booked everything on Tuesday at 10am and our flight left at 5pm!!! Then I ran my errands as FAST as I could, ate lunch with my Gran, did some laundry and threw some clothes in our bags and we took off!

The pics above are from our hotel room. The Empire State Building, office buildings and then the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

We got to our hotel at about midnight. We slept in

Wednesday, got up and went shopping, walked around, ate lunch at Ted's Montana Grill, which is delicious and then went to Magnolia Bakery to get a Cupcake (they were ok, a little dry, but the icing was great)

After shopping some more we went and took naps knowing that we would have a late night at the game!

We saw Jimmy Fallon in Rockefeller Center. They had Olympic day while we were there and he was doing one of the events for his show.

So the evening of the game we went and ate mexican food at Chevy's. It was a great Tex-Mex. So so yummy! Then we took the subway to the Bronx to the stadium. When you got off the subway it was so crowded going into the stadium. Everyone had their Yankee gear on and the level of excitement was awesome. It was such a fun place to be.

This guy was walking around the stadium dressed up as a pirate! It was pretty silly!

The end of the game!

After Rivera came in and closed the game! It was a blast and most importantly the YANKEES won the World Series! We stayed for the presenting of the trophy and to hear some of the players speak. It was an absolute BLAST! We we left the game everyone was still outside of the stadium, to get back to the subway it was person to person taking tiny steps to get anywhere. It was CRAZY!

We finally got back to our hotel about 3am and went straight to bed! We got up the next morning and went to a Yankees shop to get World Series tees, ate lunch and headed back to the aiport! It was a FAST, but FABULOUS trip. We had so much fun and we are so glad we got to go!

GO YANKEES!
