Ballin'. Nothing But Net.

June 23. Today was a day that we attempted to start early. Some how I think we left at the same time we usually get out. We bought some stamps, and some snacks and headed down to down-down town. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. That was a nice walk and fun as well. On the other side we ate at some deli, and then walked around in Brooklyn Bridge park for a hot minute. After that we went back across the bridge and headed over to the World Trade Center site. The new location is under construction, and the site/museum that we were suggested to see was hidden and said to be in two places and didn't appear to be anywhere. It was hidden so well from the terrorists that not even citizens could find it. After that we walked around in Wall Street. Got our picture with the bull, and the stock exchange. We wanted to go in, but apparently they don't let any one in any more. Apparently it is the #2 location of high alert in America. Who would have known. After that we went into Trinity Church and walked around and then made our way over the the Staten Island on the free ferry. It was a nice ride. Got some photos of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, so now we don't have to pay to go. We are so smart. Then we took a quick jaunt to Battery Park. After that we made our way home to change, we had tickets for the ballet. We went to see Swan Lake by the American Ballet Theater at the Metropolitan Opera House. The ballet was beautiful, and so was the theater. The lead guy was also some one we recognized from the movie Center Stage. After the ballet we took a black cab to Qdoba. Nothing but class. After Qdoba we went to Serendipity 3 for Frozen Hot Chocolate. It was pretty good. The restaurant did not look like I had expected, but you know, what is? Thanks to Oprah we had a nice little late night snack. We made it home about midnight. Tomorrow we want to spend the day in the park, after our reservations for tea at the Plaza. Might do some laundry tomorrow as well.

We have also started a quote list. Since we are HILARIOUS.

1. "I'm just waiting to find a dead body."

-While walking in the rocks at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge.

2. "Thank you for choosing the Staten Island Ferry."

"Thank you for being free!"

-Our response to the ferry announcement.

3. "Just think this is how your ancestors came into this country. On a boat. Except on a boat nothing like this one."

-While the ferry was docking in Manhattan.

4. "We could go to the sites were they filmed Save the Last Dance."

"Don't tempt me."

-Speaks for itself.
