Okay, Day 1 was a lot of travel. We went from Pittsburgh to Williamsport and visited with Brian and Brian. A helpful hint, if you don't really enjoy being jumped on and licked by a wild puppy, playing kitten isn't the optimal idea.
Day 2 We woke up at my uncle and aunt's and headed out to do a little shopping. Gage actually rode around in his stroller and then proceeded to fall asleep in his stroller. When we got back to the house, we packed up again and headed to a picnic given by my aunt's nephew, at least I think that's who it was. That's where we discovered Gage liked playing fetch. Also, we met a throwback from the 80's, right down to the orange hair bow. Hopefully I'll find some time in the near future to get the pictures up here.
Day 3 We headed out to Camden, met Tom for lunch, relaxed at his place til he was done with work and then headed out with him and Adam and saw Clerks II. Then we headed to the new Cheesecake Factory that just opened up and had a pretty good meal.
Day 4 We got up, headed to the "light rail" and rode from Camden to Trenton. Then we hopped on a train and headed into New York City. We got off at Penn Station and walked 17 blocks (on what we later found out was the hottest day of the millennium in Manhattan) to the hotel. The hotel, which left a lot to be desired, did have one thing going for it. When we walked out of the front door of the hotel, we could look down a block and a half and see Radio City Music Hall, which was the ultimate destination that evening. We found out that the heat kills your appetite. Which wasn't totally bad after we saw the prices for food in Manhattan. We had lunch at ESPNZone. Then we did some shopping since the stores were air-conditioned. We hit Toys R Us, which had several life-size Lego statues. Then we hit the Virgin Records Mega-Store. Needless to say, I could have spent the rest of the day (and the rest of my salary) in that store. In reality, I left the store having purchased...not one thing. For those of you that have trouble believing that, I have Tom and Terri as witnesses. We hit lots of souvenir type shops and I almost forgot FAO Schwartz. Then we headed back to the hotel, which left a lot to be desired, and showered off some of the grime that we had accumulated during the day. Then we headed to the performance. More to follow tomorrow. Time to hit the bike. I'm not giving up $100 without a fight.
