Vacation with Tillie in NYC

Last weekend, I was able to spend a few days with Tillie on the east coast. She flew from Lansing, Michigan to Newburgh, New York where I picked her up. We stayed with Joe Wechsler, a former consultant, on Friday night in Greenwich, CT. For all of you that have not heard to Greenwich, it is a very affluent area and the properties in that city are amazing but ridiculously priced. Joe is doing contracting work and showed us the house he's been working on. It was quite impressive, and I couldn't believe the value of the property. We woke up early on Saturday and drove into NYC. Driving in the city feels like your in a video game and is quite hectic. It was an experience in itself. The day was jammed packed as we walked from lower Manhatten (Wall Street) to Times Square. It was a heck of a walk, but we were able to see many different areas of the city. From Times Square we took the subway out to Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium is quite the experience, and it's always fun to watch the Yankees, love em or hate em. Our seats were in the upper deck right behind the plate. (Great view) Randy Johnson pitched for the Yankees, but did not have a very good game. From the game we took the subway back to Central Park and Rockefeller Center. What a great park! We finished up the day by driving to Washington D.C. (I told you it was a jammed packed day)
