Sept. 13, 2008 -Two National Monuments are set to be tore down after the end of the baseball season so Steph set up an awesome trip for us to catch a baseball game at both Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium. What a cool experience - There is over 120 years of baseball history packed into these 2 stadiums from 2 franchises that have been the cornerstone of America's pasttime. We will at least be able to tell our kids that we saw a ballgame at each.
The trip itself was adventourous, as it always is with Steph :).
The area around Shea is quite interesting - We stayed in Chinatown, within walking distance to the Stadium, which we figured would allow us to watch some college football at the local bar before the game. Hmm, well, no bars anywhere within a 5 mile radius of Shea for starters, and second, it really was China. I almost thought i might need a Passport to get into the stadium. Ok, not that bad, but still a trip.
The area around Yankee stadium was a little more accomodating as far as bars. We were able to catch some NFL football before heading into the stadium at which time we proceeded to fry under the ridiculous heat. Poor pregnant steph must have been even more uncomfortable than me! But, as everyone knows, Steph is a trooper and sucked it up until we headed out for the drive home.

Looking forwarded to heading back next year to see what $1.3 Billion dollars can build (the cost of the new Yankee Stadium)...
