First stop: Empire State building at 8AM. NO LINES!!
View from the top.
The Macks on top of the world:
Checkin out the sights.
Next stop: World Trade Center Gallery. Incredibly moving!
Next stop: Wall Street and the NYSE. Mike's mother ship.
Trump Tower.
The bull. Even though it's a bear market. :)
Battery Park.
Biz as the statue. Pretty good, I'd say.
Next stop: Statue of liberty. (Well, we didn't really stop because we're on a whirlwind tour of NYC. But the ride was fantastic)
Lady Liberty, herself.
We DID stop at Ellis Island.
The purpose of our trip was for a Yankees game so Mike could experience Yankee Stadium before they tear it down. So, of course, we ate dinner at Mickey Mantle's restaurant. It sits at the north end of Central Park, which was perfect for our tour of the city.
So, next stop, er, looooong walk: Central Park
Pretty amazing how much we take grass for granted!
Next stop: THE BRONX!!! Here's the BRAND NEW Yankee Stadium, in all it's glory. It looks amazing, but our goal was the historic temple of baseball.
And here we are. We came an hour and a half early so we could see Memorial Park before the game, but the line was SO long, they cut the line off before we even got there.
Mike and the park.
Ah, the Yankees!
The game was a success. Yankees won, and Mike got to see a good closing pitcher pitch. Here, I had to get a classic photo of the baseball hot dog.
After the game, we had one more stop to make. So we rode the stinky, crowded subway to Times Square. Awesome at night! We stopped for a slice of NYC pizza and then ran our butts to the train station so we could make the 12:22 train. Yes, a loooooong day!
Saturday, we managed to sneak in a few hours of sleep. Then Bob and Lea showed us a beautiful tour of New Haven, took us to a lovely breakfast place, and then on a grand tour of Yale University! We ended the afternoon with a stop at the top of the city.
Thanks, Shavers, for wonderful hospitality! We had an incredible 48 hours!! 
Happy 2nd Anniversary, my love! It was a crazy, wonderful trip, just like our lives!!
