Countdown to Vacation!

So only 2 more days and we'll be on a 9 day vacation!!!!!!!! For the first 5 days we'll be visiting my parents in central PA and then we'll be taking the train for 3 hours to NYC for the last 4 days. We are super excited for a combination of relaxing and sightseeing! We don't have a lot of plans, but we know we want to do the following at the very least:
  • Cooperstown- Dustin is dying to go to baseball hall of fame
  • Yankees game (Thurs night vs. Devil Rays)
  • Broadway show- am aiming for Lion King cause neither one of us has seen it
  • View Statue of Liberty-- probably will just take ferry to Staten Island to view it
  • Try a good deli-- am leaning towards Katz's or Carnegie
  • Get NY-style pizza-- heard Ray's was to die for, but am hoping we can try a slice here and there to try a couple places

These are not must do's, but things I'd like to do (and Dustin will probably veto):

  • Rent bikes to explore central park
  • Friday morning- stand outside the Today Show

And these are also not must do's, but on both of our lists, so will try to do as much as possible:

  • Double-decker tour bus
  • Empire state bldg
  • WTC
  • Museum Modern Art
  • Times Square
  • Rockafeller center
  • Explore the different areas of town since each seem to have unique vibes

And last, but certainly not least....the number one thing I can't wait to do on this trip is devour a Mexican Sub from a childhood favorite restaurant!!!!!! Yum!!!!!!! So will be interesting to see what I report back on what we did...and if that sub lives up to my memory!
