New York - first day and a half

Well our first day and a half has been an absolute blast. The hotel, Wyndham Garden Times Square, isn't right on Times Square - it's a half dozen blocks off - and it's been great. 24th floor was initially a little iffy for me since I'm motion sensitive, but no problems! The walk for some BBQ at Rub on our first night was a hefty, especially with another jaunt over to CVS to check for some one pound Reeces Cups for our buddy. Turns out neither of us are very good with "I think it's just a couple of blocks"....it was more like another trip down to the restaurant!

At any rate, we had a great sleep and then headed to the Yankees vs. Orioles, where we enjoyed a walk off home run for the win!

Let's play ball! 

Alex at bat (I think I'm a hot shot with the 'action' pics) 

And the one I tried to get so many times - ball in action!

We finished up with some Sam Adam's Cherry Wheat Beer (YUM! MrP's memory was right - delish!) and Irish pub supper from The Perfect Pint. A little cookie dough & chocolate toffee Concrete from The Shake Shack for dessert and it's a night.

Thursday, off to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and in the evening, Wicked at the Gershwin!
