Kristen and I spent the last four days in New York City celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary.
We stayed in the brand new Millenium Hilton, and our room directly overlooked what is left of the World Trade Center complex. Nice hotel, but it is still pretty somber across the street at the WTC.
As I posted earlier, our Yankees tickets were rendered useless by the rescheduling of Thursday night's game. Luckily, we thought, they scheduled a makeup game for Thursday afternoon. Although the first pitch was scheduled for only two hours after our plane was scheduled to land, we thought we would could make it.
Since the makeup game was scheduled hastily, the Yankees offered a promotion to bring out the fans. Tickets cost only $5, but were only available at the door. Hot dogs and sodas were half price.
They sold out the entire stadium in less than thirty minutes, so we did not get in. On the plus side, we got to ride the green 4 subway line for 90 minutes for only $4 each.
I will post more on our trip, which got significantly better, later on.
