We've already planned on the destination, thank God it's in the country and we can drive. Excitement is in the air as we plan our first vacation as a married couple.
Our first vacation planning & my thought process:
- We've decided to go to Boston. Cor has always wanted to watch a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway and since I'm an honorary Red Sox fan by marriage, I'm tagging along.
- Even though we're going to Fenway for Corey, I should still be able to help out in important decisions, like where we sit. All of the seats I think would be great to sit in, are less expensive than all the seats that I feel are in horrible spots, which are super expensive. (I guess I just don't get this whole baseball thing) I'm also guessing that Fenway looks nothing like the baseball field in Johnson City, where I used to go watch the Bucs play. The worst seats were right behind the catchers mound (I think that's what its called) because of this huge net. At Fenway, even though they're up a little higher, these seats are the most expensive (besides the "Green Monster").
- Do those people still walk around yelling, "Get your popcorn, $2 dollars for popcorn, get it while its hot." If so, I'll be even more excited about going.
- Last year, I watched almost all of the Boston Red Sox games....this year I've forgotten most of what I learned. I hate sports, but I do really like Big Papi just because he seems like a cool guy and he hits a lot of home runs. (I just spelled home runs wrong and auto correct changed it, *smacks self in face*)
- Okay, so we're going to a Red Sox game, but we're also going to New York. I've never been before so this part of the vacation is more for me.
- Corey really wants to go to a Broadway play. I'd like to go, but only if it's something I'm familiar with or a play with some comedic relief. (I refuse to watch Les Misérables, or any other sad, depressing musical.)
- I would also love to go to FAO Schwarz toy store. (because we all know I'm a huge child at heart) I just watched a youtube video about the huge floor piano they have there. (I'm so excited)
- I would also really love to go see Jimmy Fallon or SNL, however, their ticket system is in lottery form, meaning you sign up and they just pull your name out of a hat for a random show. (not exactly, but you get the point) (Which seems totally unfair since Cor and I both work at a NBC affiliate station.) *Sad day*
- I'm also really excited/nervous about riding the Subway. (I really hope it's not as creepy as they portray it on t.v.) (yeah, go ahead and make fun of me, I'm a small town girl who's "never really been anywhere")
- One of the many things that I'm excited about is that since we're not going out of the country, we don't have to worry about switching currency. (Never again Jamaica, never again) *shakes fist*
- My husband is also allowing (haha "allowing) us to drive, not only because I really don't like planes, but because I love road trips. (seriously, I love driving to different and new places)
- Isn't it awesome when you marry your best friend, vacations seem more like mini adventures.
- I'd like to see the statue of liberty, but unless I'm taken over by boat and get to stand next to her, I'm not really that interested! (i might even give her a hug)
Okay, so here's the interaction part of the blog. If you've ever traveled to New York and have a favorite restaurant or a cool place to visit....let me know. Also, advice for visiting a large city is allowed.
Thanks for visiting....
Love always,
