Game 2 in NYC and Central Park was mine!!!

Got up early this AM and took on Central Park. I entered at 6th avenue and did a couple of loops around the south end of the park. I didn't realize the Park could be so hilly. Not ridiculous hills, just annoying enough to remind you that you are climbing here and there. After that we saw NYC in her Manhattan entirety. The bus loop around the city was fantastic. Saw everything from Rockefeller Center down to Ground Zero. So many emotions at Ground Zero will save for another blog another day. After doing that we came back to the hotel and chilled out for about an hour then headed down to Yankee Stadium in rush hour subway traffic. Yikes!!!!!!!!! Anyways seeing Yankee stadium and and the new stadium is always a treat. The history of that building and the aura of is just amazing. What made it all the better was that the Yankees got spanked. I should actually clarify that by stating when we left the Yankees were getting spanked. After 6 innings Ethan was ready to bail. He started at 9 this morning at the top of the Empire State Building, did a full day loop of Manhattan, and ended up at Yankee Stadium...He had had his fill. His quote of the day has to be when we were on the 86th floor of the Empire State Building. "This isn't the tippy tippy top, I want to go to the tippy tippy top." This from a kid who is terrified of getting his picture taken with a team mascot (Mr. Met). Oh well on the whole it was a great, yet tiring success. I got a run in through CP and saw the other side of the city as well as the Yankees getting spanked...great day, great day.
