Sight-seeing day with Rex and Justin

This morning started early for us today on the subway, 6:45 am. We headed down town to meet up with Rex and the tour group he was in town for. We tagged along for the walking subway tour. We started out a the place John Lennon was shot at, the DAKOTA Bldg. Would love to have had the opportunity to go in the building. We walked thru Central Park, a different area we hadn't been to. We subwayed down to Ground Zero, back up to China town and little Italy, then up to Radio City Music Hall for a back stage tour. That building is huge and amazing technology for the 1930's. This group that Rex was with is from Price Utah, a dancing group of girls and some of their parents. Then to the top of the "Rock". We had all ready been to the top twice so we headed up to Yankee stadium to see if we could find anyone selling tickets for the game. Couldn't get any over the Internet or the box office as they were all sold out. We ended up buying two from a scalper. We payed three times the price listed on the ticket. We had a great seat but in the center of the row and Doug couldn't sit in the cramped space with his bum knee. Rex's group had two not go to the game so we ended up taking those seats because they were an isle seat. There is really not a bad place to sit in the small ball park. Doug was pleased the Yankee's lost 4-2 to the Cincinnati Reds. What a zoo the subway was getting back home. You have to experience it to believe it. We arrived home at 11:15 pm. It was a long day.
