Weekend with Kendra

My friend from Mizzou came up for 4th of July weekend and we did NYC right. We didn't rest for one minute... Here are some of the highlights!

Natural History Museum~




I was most impressed by the dinos and gigantic whale (if you couldn't tell )
Me at the Yankees/Sox game.
From the cheap seats. It threatened rain, but we stayed dry all night.
Kendra with the score book. We both kept score for our first time. I enjoyed it (even if we did make up some notations). We did have matching shirts... but she was A-Rod and I was Wang.
The Yankees won! Winning hit was by Gardner just up from the minors. Damon was out with an injury. We also saw a guy get kicked out for some "friendly" rivalary talk.
Buildings near Meatpacking District.



The Irish Hunger Memorial. This was my first time to this memorial. I had heard about it before. And seen it in a movie (can't remember which), but hadn't found it. The entire memorial- plants, cottage, rocks, etc. are from Ireland.



For the All Star game there is a parade of statues around the city for each team and some others. Just before finding the Royals Kendra and I were talking about how we wanted to find it... then it appeared right before our eyes!
One of the current Waterfall installations. This is the one by Governor's Island. A Staten Island Ferry is crossing in front.
We were walking around Battery Park and saw.... um a turkey?
The Brooklyn Bridge behind some buildings and a mural.





If your lucky you can stumble upon roller dancing in central park... boy they can groove.
Strawberry Fields in CP
Rector Set replication of building at Rock Center
A bustling Grand Central Station
The Cyclone at Coney Island.... It was rough but we lived...
