D Train 4th of July Weekend

We started off the long weekend in Coney Island for the AVP Beach Volleyball tourney. It was a long ride out there, but it was fun once the hour train ride was over!

Just because we don't have a yard, doesn't mean we didn't celebrate the 4th of July! We had an indoor bbq, with burgers, potato salad and corn on the cob. After dinner we headed to the Hudson River for the Macy's Fireworks show. They had 5 barges shooting off fireworks at the same time. They closed down the West Side Highway. It was great to watch the fireworks from up there. They also televised the event on NBC.

On Sunday we bought some last minutes tickets to the Yankee's game. Our seats were in the center field bleachers. The view was great, but the seats were in the direct sun and were hot! We spent the second half of the game walking around and checking out the new ballpark. Shawn and I both agree we like the Mets new stadium better. Yankee Stadium has outrageous prices, even for NYC!

All in all it was a wonderful 4th of July. It was the first time that it was just Shawn and me. It was very laid back and relaxing!!
