Wow, what a weekend..........

Well, I finally got the opportunity to venture to NYC. Well, Ok, I was in Secaucus, but ya know, it's pretty close. And I did get into NYC. Twice!
My purpose for finally getting to the Northeast Coast.....Stargate. There was this big con going on for the weekend and I said "why not?" And my arm was twisted by some good friends of mine who live in Massachusetts of all places.
I got to meet lots of new people who have become near and dear friends. The most exciting part for me was venturing into NYC though. The first time was Friday morning (2ND) for the sole purpose of seeing Central Park. I ventured into this city armed with people who are comfortable with BIG cities...my girlfriend from Chicago and my girlfriend from Birmingham. England that is.
I got to experience my first subway ride. It was a lot cleaner than I had imagined. And just as confusing as expected.

The second venture into NYC was Sunday Night to see my first play. It was an awesome production called Humans Anonymous. Absolutely fantastic!! Then it was off to see some sites before flying home early Monday morning. Got to see Broadway, Times Square, Empire State Building, Ground Zero, Battery Park and the Statue of Liberty. I also saw some fantastic old churches and cemeteries in the midst of Manhattan. I got back to the hotel at 2 AM and I needed to be up at 6 to pack and get ready to go home.

I loved my ventures into the Big Apple. It wasn't as scary as I had imagined and all the fun that I thought it would be. I can't wait to go back again. Oh, and that Stargate Con I went too....total blast. Too bad they moved it to Cherry Hill next year.
