Weekend in NYC






Last weekend the family went up to New York City to visit with my family. We flew in on Saturday and flew out on Monday. The main reason for the trip was for my father, brother, and I to go to the Giants/Cowboys game.

Highlights from the trip:
  • Shannon got her first doll an loves it. As soon as it was out of the box she was changing clothes and brushing her hair.

  • We stayed at a really nice hotel called The Benjamin. The actually have a pillow menu. You can actually pick the style of pillow you'd like for the bed. We were lazy and just went with the ones on the bed.

  • Got to meet up with Charley, Ezra, Pam, and a few others for a few beers after the family went to bed.

  • Met Troy Aikman on an elevator at the hotel. I was on already and he walked on and was actually really nice. No autograph or picture. I didn't want to be one of those people. Plus he had just gotten back from a work out so he was all sweaty.

  • A few hours later Erin and Shannon got on the elevator and who was on with them but no other than Troy Aikman. So she got to meet him as well. I think he just rides the elevators all day looking for people to talk to.

  • Watched the Giants game from the 45 yard line about 25 rows up. Awesome seats. Giants didn't win but it was so cool being there. Only the 2nd time I've seen the Giants play at Giants Stadium.
