This weekend I got the chance to go to New York City for the first time!  Jody had a four day weekend, so we took full advantage and loaded ourselves into his truck early Friday morning and were able to spend most of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and nearly all of Monday up there!  Yikes.  After the long weekend, we both decided we wanted nothing to do with NYC again.  I was bumped far too much, used up practically twelve million bottles of hand sanitizer, and peed in more dirty public bathrooms than my butt cheeks would have liked, but still, it was an awesome experience.

Lucky for me, Jody knows how to find his way around.  He was the one who figured out all of the bus schedules, subway stops, street signs, and activities.  I just held his hand and jogged alongside him while he pulled me all over the city.

Our first night was spent in Time Square, where we went to a comedy show.  We both laughed a lot, were made fun of a little, and overall had a really great time.  I'm more sensitive than Jody, so I was a little bit nervous- those guys are relentless!  Luckily, neither of us is Asian or wore a cowboy hat, so we made out alright.

Friday we walked, walked, walked, and walked some more.  We visited Central park, chased firefighters and a cloud of smoke in the sky until we found it's source (Jody's idea- not mine).  We ate some New York pizza, checked out some funny shops, and then went to Toy Story 3D. 

Saturday we hit Ellis Island, The Statue of Liberty, took a nap, and then checked out ground zero that evening.  Sunday morning we made our way to Yankee Stadium for a Yankee/Orioles game!  It was very hot out and we were both exhausted by then, but I think we both had fun even though we were pretty zoned out for most of the game.

It was a LONG trip home, and we didn't get back until about three in the morning just so Jody could get up and go to work at six.  I think we're both recovered by now though, and I'm very happy to report that I had an excellent weekend with my hubby in the city!  Mark one more off the ol' bucket list!
