God Bless America....and the Yankees

I haven't made it to a Yankees game this summer, but I did go with a group of friends to watch one of the minor league teams play, The Staten Island Yankees.  I can't say too much for the game(although they did win), but you did get all you can eat food and a free hat and there was a pretty awesome fireworks show at the end.  The best part though is the trek to and from the game.  We had to leave our little home of Manhattan and go over to Staten Island.  Below is what you see from the deck of the ferry....

Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges.  

And behind us is the financial district of Manhattan.  You ride away on the ferry and can look out at the whole bottom part of city.  I really have no explanation of what we are doing in this picture:-)

There She is....Lady Liberty

This was the view of the city from our seats at the stadium.  Not to Shabby, don't you think?

The Group.  We all got free hats.  Guess where mine went when I got home?  The Trash.  Not exactly my style, but fun to wear at the game!  

If you look closely you can somewhat see the lights of the city behind the fireworks.  It was a fun night.  Hopefully I will make it to a real Yankees game before the season ends.  

Don't be jealous tennis fans, but I have tickets to the US Open for Tuesday.  Being a tennis player, it has ALWAYS been a dream of mine to one day go to the US Open.   I am super excited that I finally live close enough to make that dream a reality.
