New York City

This past weekend, I had to go to New York for business, and Marc was able to join me for this trip. In between functions, we had a great time.

I had plans to see two Tony-nominated Broadway shows - Shrek and Rock of Ages. Instead we saw The Little Mermaid. (It was right across the street from our hotel. What can I say - we are lazy!) The show was a little long, but the costumes and scenery were amazing.

Since this was only Marc's second trip to NYC, we were a little touristy. We walked around Times Square at night (with a million other people!) to look at the lights and where the ball drops on New Year's Eve.

One of my work functions was the Peabody Awards. We saw our favorites Lost and Saturday Night Live pick up their awards, but didn't get to meet anyone famous this year. We did also see Laura Linney (for John Adams) and most of the cast of Breaking Bad.

Marc took his first subway ride.

And we went down to Battery Park to see the Statue of Liberty.

We walked around the park.

And then instead of dragging Marc to another Broadway show, we took in a Yankees game.

Marc is a big Yankees fan, so he was excited to go and see the new stadium.

We had great seats on the third base line, and the Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins 7-6.

While I packed lots of options, it was really chilly. Especially at the game. I had on three layers, and had the whole-body shakes by the time we left. I am clearly a Georgia girl!
