We (Lindsay, Hannah and I) started off the day w/ a casual and late pancake breakfast – thanks to Aunt Barb. We wanted to get out early to the city, but didn’t catch the train out of Jersey till about noon.
We arrived at Penn Station just before 2 p.m. Within the first five minutes I held the door for an unsuspecting New Yorker who thanked me with a smile – a constant trend all day.
Similar story at the deli w/ the guy who whipped up the best pastrami and rye sandwich I’ve had in about 10 years. He smiled at me and seemed to know I really appreciated a good sandwich.
Our main goal for today was to hit up the Museum of Natural History. Only $10 and 20 minutes worth a defensive and passive cab ride and we hit it up. Check out the picture gallery. We saw it all and Hannah couldn’t have been happier.
After that we hit up Central Park, where about 18 inches of snow fell just two days ago. There’s a lot to be said about seeing skiers in Downtown Manhattan. Shit was hilarious. Hannah got to run around and throw snow while Linds and I got to take it in.
I set the camera up on a snowman to get this photo. Thanks for the family portrait Frosty!!
After an extended stroll in pursuit of Dean and DeLuca Coffee, we jumped the D Line for the Bronx – Yankee Stadium.
Hannah was a trooper the entire way and charmed our way through the new Yankee Stadium Hard Rock Café and right into the new stadium – after hours. The restaurant manager opened up the doors and walked us in for some photos and a once-in-a-lifetime trip as the only three people in the entire stadium.
Hannah and Dad got the Yankee fan’s best trip – and for free.
We’re on the way back via NJ Transit to Denville. Hannah’s passed out on the seat w/ her new pink Yankees beanie as we approach 2 a.m. The guy in the front of our train car is gettin’ crunk as he’s just cracked open the third beer of the ride.
What a trip!
