Valentines Day Weekend Extravaganza

Since Valentines Day was on a Friday
we decided to celebrate over the weekend.

We did exchange our valentines gifts on
Friday evening.

Hubby bought me these beautiful roses.

I found this cookie jar of his favorite - FRED.

Saturday we stayed home and took care

of all our errands. It snowed again so

we just snuggled in.

We picked up sandwiches for dinner so

we wouldn't have to venture out.

Taliercio's has the best food.

Now I am a women who can eat 1/2 a sub at one setting.

(well not proud but true hah) But not theirs. It is huge.

1/4 is all I can handle.

Sunday up early and off to church.

Gar was teaching his Sunday School kids and

I was principal.

After church we headed to our hotel in

Elmsford NY. La Quinta

We had "free" tickets from our Broadway

club to see The Bronx Bombers on

Sunday night so rather then drive home

so late we booked a hotel. Then figured since

we were off work on Monday thanks to

these two guys:

We'd make a day of it and head to upstate NY.

We checked into our hotel and had plans to eat dinner at

MP Taverna not to far from our hotel. Then we would leave our

car and catch the train into NYC for the show.

Here's my hubby outside the restaurant.

It is owned by my favorite Greek Chef - Michael Psilakis

Well, we didn't realize the restaurant closes from 3-5 daily

so we could not eat there and still make our play.

We were disappointed but agreed we would try again soon.

We decided to still leave our car and hop on the Metro

North train, the Hudson line into NYC.

I took some photos while we waited it was just so pretty.

I have never ridden this line before and the view was spectacular.

You can see the NYC skyline just peeking up in the background.

Here comes our train.

Polar Express hah

George Washington Bridge growing nearer

Arrived at Grand Central Terminal.

Headed towards the theater and figured we select a

dinner spot on the way.

We have winner ! Hubby hasn't seen the movie.

I know ~ I can't believe it either. hah

He is a huge fan of Tom Hanks too?

Fun place love the sneakers and chocolate. hah

So fun when you need the waiter you flip the sign

to STOP FORREST STOP ha ha and it works !

Oh my, this is what I had. Shrimp galore. 4 types.

Fried Shrimp, Shrimp Cocktail, Shrimp Tempura,

Coconut Shrimp and fries.

Hubby chose Shrimp Scampi

Then our waiter gave us a trivia contest I told him

Hubby hadn't seen the movie. Guess who won the contest?

Hubby hah hah He knew what canned vegetables come

together ~ peas & carrots. He won a handful of mints

which he loves.

Then it was off to the show.

It was a theater in the round and we

had 3rd row seats. You could see so well.

Billy Martin, Elston Howard, Derek Jeter,Joe Dimaggio,

Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra

BRONX BOMBERS is a new American play from the team behind Broadway's Lombardi, starring Peter Scolari ("Bosom Buddies", "Newhart") as beloved icon Yogi Berra, as we follow Yogi and his wife Carmen through a century of the team's trials and triumphs, bringing generations of Yankee greats together on one stage. As it celebrates and explores the timeless legacy of baseball's most iconic team, BRONX BOMBERS takes a fascinating look at how and why the Yankees have remained so undeniably great... and so powerfully inspirational!
