We're *so* Metropolitan...

Er, we will be tomorrow, when we hit NYC and visit the Met Museum of Art and attend a Mets baseball game. It's like too cute, but I promise that's not the reason we decided to do each of those things...

So yeah, TOMORROW is our day of fun in New York City - we fly out super early at 6am (don't do the math on when we have to arrive at the airport and park our car...just don't.) But the upside of that is we get to New York early and get an entire day there! And first task: figure out all the lovely public transit. Oh, and get coffee, which I think should come first, don't you??

The Met is on the agenda first, which I'm totally jazzed about. Somehow I've never been there, and quite honestly, I can't remember ever going to Central Park either. The Met is kind of on the border of Central Park and the city, so I think we're going to walk it and check out the park. So many movies and TV shows have scenes that take place there, it'll be really neat to actually *see* it.

We don't really have anything else planned until the evening. The top rated attraction in NYC and the thing that's been recommended to me up and down is Top of the Rock - which is high up on the Rockafeller Center building and supposedly the best panoramic view of the city. I'm having a hard time rationalizing *another* $20/pp cost just to see the city from up high... (pardon my flip tone... I don't mean to be so dismissive. I guess I'm just so *metropolitan* now, it's all commonplace to me ;) ) so I haven't bought any tickets and I think we'll do it if we feel totally inspired to see the city from up high... IDK. TBD.

Then we're light on the agenda till the Mets v Marlins game at 7:10. Woot! Again with the figuring out public transit to whatever the heck borough Shea Stadium is in. Beers cost $9 at the concert we went to last week at Walnut Creek, I'm on the edge of my seat to see how much they cost at Shea. Seriously! If you didn't assume it already, this is "Scott's thing" that he chose, and I chose The Met.

I'm excited because we're staying downtown, right near Times Square. We're leaving fairly early the next morning (though after reading when we're leaving NC, "early" kind of takes on a new meaning...) to hop a train to New Jersey with one of Scott's college friends who lives in the city. I was foolishly hoping to get a run in in Central Park (cause it's kind of like the quintessential place to run, if you ask me...) but with the train time and taking into account that I'll likely be really tired and not want to be in a bad mood all day bc I got up early... I decided to spare Scott that fun :) On to Montvale and wedding fun!! It's going to be a lot of fun to see them again. And fun to wear my new dress.

Then we leave from Newark early in the afternoon, and come home to Carolina just in time for a Sunday afternoon nap. And I'll post lots and lots of pictures, don't worry, Internets.
