New York, New York

Light rain and sweat shirts on the 4th of July cruising New York doesn't get any better. Wow, the fireworks were spectacular off the Brooklyn Bridge. Something about cruising around the Statue of Liberty on the 4th of July was so American.
I know we don't look like Yankee fans and that's because we were silently cheering on the Angel's from Aniehien. Mickey Hatcher is the bench coach for the Angel's and we talked on the phone. I was to chicken to try to meet him on the field. Mickey wanted me to say I was his cousin. Somehow those New Yorkers weren't going to believe that one.

It was a fun experience at the game. I took tons of pictures of Derek Jeters and taking the SUBWAY was actually fun too. We are still alive to talk about it.

We stayed across the street from Central Park at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. What a beautiful hotel and they spoiled us rotten. Our highlights of our trip were :
