VA, NJ, NY

Yo Team. So my last road trip had an overnight in Philly and the next night i was in Newark. Well I was able to walk downtown Philly and visit a lot of the sites. Independence hall where they held the continental congress and signed the declaration of independence was great. There is so much history in that city you could go back there a lot. the only thing i really didn't get to see was rocky's statue. that night the capt. and i scalped tickets to the mets phillies game and it was sweet. The capt. tells me he used to be a pro tennis player kinda thing and could probably get us into the us open while in new york. so we took a bus, bus, train, sub,sub, train and visited the big crowded apple. it was a blitz of the city. we raced from world trade center, to ny stock exchange, to times square, and broadway. Then went to the meadows lands by shea stadium which is right by where they host the US Open. Well his best friends dad who is stan smith got us one ticket. He went in to try and get more and I walked over to where they had the world's fair. by the way those are not space ships like the men in black said. the capt. couldn't find another ticket to get me into watch roddick but got me into the compound. as i was sitting there a nice european asked if i wanted to go watch the match. i said yes and he gave me his 180.00 dollar ticket. while running in another guy offered me his 180.00 dollar ticket. i took the better of the two and watched andy roddick play from eleven rows up center court. Then it was back to the hotel. train, sub, sub, train, bus, bus. got in way late and had to fly way early. of course i would have rather been home with the family but if you gotta be away that was the way to do it. life is good and we can't wait to see everyone at the wedding. mucho love.
