DFT14 - Day 3 - YANKEES WIN!

-
Yesterday we spent most of the day in the Central Park area.  We we walked to the lake and watched the boats paddle around.  We saw a photo shoot, that was taking place.  We spent most of the morning in the Museum of Natural History.  It was really neat, but def one of those places you need a whole day in order to see everything.  We basically just hit the highlights.  After leaving the AMNH, we tried to see the front of The Met.  We did not have time to go in it, but I wanted to take a picture on the stairs (for all you gossip girl fans).  However, there was a lot on construction on the front and it was going to be crazy trying to get to the stairs, so I just settled for a picture of the front of it.




We finally were able to eat at SHAKE SHACK.  I've heard so much about it, and wanted to make sure to eat at one before leaving.  It was good, reminds me a lot of Pal's.  But the Fair Shake, which is a coffee shake is AMAING!



Yesterday we had tickets to the Yankees Game and tickets to get the Behind the Scenes Tour before the game.  I was pretty disappointed in our tour.  It was scheduled to start at 4:20, they didn't let us in until after 4:30.  I'm pretty sure our tour guide was 12.  And they rushed us through the whole thing.  I didn't really get to see what I wanted to see because they were always rushing us.  At the end of the tour they did take us to section 105 to watch batting practice.



Yankees scored 1 run early in the game and it was 1-0 for the longest time.  Somewhere along the way Baltimore scored 3 runs, and going into the bottom of the 9th it was 3-1.  And the Yankees were at the top of their line up.  I don't remember all the details because it got crazy.  But Beltron hit a Walk-Off Homerun....making the Yankees win 5-3!! It was wild and people went nuts! And the hilarious part was while he was being interviewed after the game, they poured gatorade on him, and absolutely soaked the reporter....she was MAD.



So far of the three stadium we have been to over the course of the last three years...Yankees def. have the best.  The atmosphere is great and the fans really get into the game.  Even though I was disappointed in my tour, I ate the worst pretzel of my life, and the served pepsi instead of coke.  Overall it was amazing and I would go back again!

P.S. we had to walk back to the hotel last night with some Baltimore fans, and they wouldn't talk to use.  Who knows why.

And lastly, I pretty sure I deserved that Fair Shake I had yesterday, and maybe even another today.

DFT25 - Montana

  DFT25 officially began last Saturday. This is a bit of a different trip than we are used to. Since Daniel was officially named the Head Football Coach we didn’t think we had the time to drive like we normally would. So we FLEW! And instead of camping we are staying in AirBNBs.   This is how you know I don’t fly often. It had been a few weeks since I had looked at our flight. Daniel had asked me the weekend before if I thought we should drive to Nashville and grab a cheap hotel room on Friday evening and I said No I didn’t want to do that. But on Friday I had myself convinced that our flight was at 11:50am and that we would be late to the airport. So I decided we did indeed need to go Friday night. I hurried and finished packing and we got on the road to Nashville. At the 407 exit I decided to check my email again. Apparently our flight was at 1:50. I had 11:50 in my mind because that’s what time we needed to be at the airport. I also decided to start the check in process in ...

DFT25 - Glacier part 2

 Saturday was reserved for spending time in the St. Mary and Many Glacier area of the park. We started the day driving across the Going to the Sun road. Stopped at the visitors center in St. Mary and watched the video on the park. Then we had lunch at Johnsons. It was part of the main reason I wanted to go to that side of the park. When Daniel and I were there in 2016 we had their famous Huckleberry Ice Cream pie and were so excited for the girls to have it. Unfortunately they weren’t serving dessert at lunch ☹️. But we did have a huckleberry cream fizz and huckleberry lemonade to drink 🤷🏻‍♀️ Then we drove on up to Many Glacier. Several of the trails are closed due to snow and bear activity. We walked as far around the lake as we could go before we had to turn around. We did finally have our family picture made in front of the sign! Then for dinner we stopped at the Sunflower Cafe for BBQ and it was sooooo good! I’ve figured out that most of the restaurants are tied to a resort o...

DFT 25 - Montana - Glacier NP

Glacier now has a timed entry system. And the pass go up for sale 90 days before your trip or at 7pm the night before you want to enter. 3 months ago I was able to get a permit for all our days but not always the earliest times. So we have had to plan around what time we can get into the park.   Wednesday we didn’t have a pass until 1pm. So we started the morning on the Northwest Side at the place called Polebridge. We were able to visit the Mercantile and get a famous Huckleberry Bear Claw. The Polebridge Mercantile had been in business since….and is one of the most iconic buildings in Montana. We hiked the Covey Meadow Loop in the North Fork Area of the park. Then headed back down for our 1pm park entry to the Going to the Sun Road. We drove all the way up to Logan Pass. EG kept saying she didn’t think it was real and she was actual seeing a projection 😂. When we came back down we stopped to let the girls swim in Lake McDonald. Then we had dinner and ice cream in Apgar Village...
