It has been almost two weeks since we returned from our trip to New Jersey to visit my son and his financee. I had intended to write about it sooner, but I am getting very good at procrastinating. The first three days we were there we took the 123 bus from Union City, NJ to the Port Authority Bus Terminal at Midtown Manhattan. This was the first time we had taken the bus as before we had always taken the PATH trains and the light rail. This was very inexpensive as it only cost me $1.05 and Janet $2.30. The ride into NYC only took 30 minutes. The first day we got to NYC in the afternoon. We walked to Bryant Park and sat there and had coffee. It was very relaxing and fun just to watch people. We then walked to St.Patrick's Cathedral and ate dinner at the Madison Avenue Delicatessen. After dinner we walked down to the Theatre District. We spotted the Hard Rock Cafe and went inside. A co-worker of Janet's had a brother-in-law who worked there. Janet was going to say hi, but he was gone. While there we wandered in the Shubert Theatre and found out we could get tickets to Spamalot for the next evening. This was quite a surprise as we thought they would be sold out. Even more surprising was that we got tickets in the front row center. Even though we had seen Spamalot the previous month in Chicago, we decided to see it again. After purchasing our tickets we went to Port Authority and took the bus back to Walker's. He was flying and wouldn't be back til Wednesday night, but we had a nice visit with Kerrie. She talked about their wedding plans and showed us lots of pictures.
