An All-American Fourth of July at the "Shrine"

Yankee Stadium (1923 - 2008) The Final Season at 'The House that Ruth Built', 'The Shrine' of the American Pass Time. July 4th 2008 . . . Yankees vs. Red Sox. Does it get any more American than this ?

"Buy me some Peanuts and Cracker Jack"

Melanie and the Mermaid

The new Disney spectacular on Broadway is "The Little Mermaid" On a spontaneous visit to the box office, we got some great seats at "wheelchair prices" for the show. The staging, acting, singing was spectacular. Lots of fun.

Shops and the City

Shopping is always fun. (and a trade-off for going to the game) The Times Square M&M shop just down from the hotel.

Then there is the Avenue of the Americas Street Fair. Bad spelling but good prices.

More Shops in NYC

No trip to New York (or Chicago or LA) is complete without a visit to the American Girl Store !













We now have a new shrine to visit. The Salon Deva, the US Mecca for curly haired girls
