This morning, we got up and went back to Manhattan to just poke around one last time. We took the Ferry to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty and then to Ellis Island. We have paid for unlimited transportation with a double decker bus that has no roof on the upper section. As we were trying to make it back to Midtown Manhattan, it started to rain...so we got out the ponchos and tried to stay as dry as we could. The rain was making us very nervous because we had tickets to the Texas Rangers v NY Yankees game tonight. The rain was hard but did not last long and it did not affect game time.
As we arrived from Grand Central Station to the Bronx and Yankee Stadium, our excitement was brewing. You see, these tickets were a gift from Brandie and the girls for my birthday this past march. I will not recount all the details of the game...but I will say that it was an awesome experience. Every sports fan should make the trip here to watch the Yankees play in the new stadium.
I want to take time right here to say "thank you" to my wonderful, beautiful wife, Brandie. She has stood right beside me (not behind or in front of) in our ministry. The game tickets were a perfect gift for my birthday. "Thank you baby"!!!
We will post pics of the game and other stuff we have seen the last couple of days soon. I am updating the blog from the 4 train that goes from the stadium through the South Bronx to Manhattan. Yikes!!! Then we switch to the "F" train to our hotel in Jamaica.
Tomorrow, we will view a couple of homes for rent so that we have a better idea of what to expect when we move up here. Please pray that we will get to see these apartments (we had some trouble the other day when we tried to look at a couple).
