Swollen Feet and Fingers!!

Hello friends!

Wireless is actually working so Ill take a quick crack at it. We are having a fab time on our "babymoon"! Boston was awesome. Tons of history, good food, cool people, good beer (so I hear) and just fun! We stayed at the Millenium Bostonian which I would highly recommend too if you go. Smack dab in the middle of everything and across from Faniel Hall which is basically the midpoint of the Freedom Trail. We walked tons and my feet hurt and my Aggie ring is getting too tight. It's the first time I havent worn it in consecutive days since I got it. Weird. But the food, YUM! We went over to the "north end" which is nothing but lines and lines of Italian restaurants and ate there 2 nights. DELISH! The smell of garlic will make you hungry even if you werent before! The Freedom Trail was fun and interesting but we also did a Fenway tour which was "wicked cool". Old stadium but filled with history and pretty neat. If only we could have gone to a game but they sell out in FEBRUARY! They DO have day of game tickets but we didnt want to wait for five hours in line (for real, that what our tour guide told us the average was). So anyway...we really loved Boston and look forward to taking the fam back one day :-)

On to NYC...we arrive to the Yellow Cabs being on strike! DOH! Anywhere from 50-75% were off the streets so that means....more walking!! Hotel Elysee is very cute and boutiquey...plus it includes free breakfast and wine & cheese HH daily! Pretty good stuff. Quick run down of what we have been up to here:
1- Saw "Curtains"on Broadway with David Hyde Pierce (Niles from"Frasier") and it was GREAT! We were on Row F, center orchastra. Great seats, great sets, great everything. Highly recommend it and even Matt liked it! It was just fun!!
2- Red Bus tour to cover all the big sights; Central Park; ate at Bobby Flay's Mesa Restaurant. Yummy but a long subway to get there with no cabbies to help us out!
3- Top of the Rock, more wandering, and night at Shea Stadium watching the Astros get their butts kicked. We had the same # of hits, but game ended Astros 3- Mets 11! We had fun though. Sat next to a family of Brits visiting from London and this was their first baseball game ever so enjoyed explaining the game to them. Shea Stadium feels HUGE too. But they are tearing it down and building a new fancier stadium next door, kinda sad.

Whew, that was long. Tomorrow is our last day. Doing an NBC Studio tour, Habour Cruise, and visiting Ground Zero and then thats NYC!

Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks to the Agnews for watching Mister Max and the rents for the Pester. I miss my fur babies!

Baby Wittliff is good. Pants decided to get tight this week but Im not sure if its from growing baby or the FOOD! ;-) We have been trying out Zach this week so I will keep you updated!

Ill post pics when we get home on Sunday. Time for beddy-bye, we have a long day ahead of us!

Ciao!!
