Tiger's Game and New York

Friday we went to a Tiger’s game with my daddy.We went and ate at El Zocalo downtown. The food was awesome I love real Mexican food.  It was really nice I don’t like baseball but it gives my Dad and Steve time to talk. They get along really well. Sitting there listening to them go back and forth is a site to see but Steve will go out of his way for my father. It was Christopher’s first game with us. They had fireworks at the end. I will try to post the video I took. Christopher slept though the fireworks until the end. He wasn’t scared at all he was so brave. He liked them.

Saturday morning we packed up to head to New York for Justin's Birthday. It took us four hours to get to Pennsylvania. We stop to eat at this restaurant Primanti Bros. To get there famous sandwich it wasn't that good but it was something new to try. We waited in line for about 25 minutes to get the sandwich not on a plate. lol

It then took us another 6 hours to get to New York. We stop so many times just to get out of the car and to go pee. Why may I ask is there always a line for the ladies bathroom? It doesn't make sense go pee and leave. Justin liked going though the tunnel.

Once we arrived in downtown New York it was a mob full of people. Our hotel was only three blocks away. It took us a good 45 minutes to get there. There were people everywhere! Take a look at this McDonald's you would think we were in LA or something. Yes, we took about a thousand pictures while we were there. When we finally were able to get checked in at our hotel which was a block away from the Empire State Building I was exhausted. We all took a shower to venture out in the big city. First off this is not a stroller friendly place. You have to fight the crowd to get anywhere. Even at 10 o'clock at night there where people out like it was noon. We decided to go to the Empire State Building to see it at night with all the lights on the building.

There was a line to get in the place to buy our tickets about 45 minutes. A line to get half way up another hour or so there. Once we went though the security scanners another 35 to 45 minutes to get to the elevators. That took us up to the 80th floor. Then we had to wait again by this time I lost track how long we waited. Once we were on the observation deck it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. You could see the whole city from the top. It was gorgeous to be that high up and look over. At the same time a little nerve racking too. Well this is only part one so stay tune for more.

I just can't seem to be mad at this man.

I'm talking about my wonderful hubby Steve. I swear it's so hard to try or stay mad at him it's impossible. This morning we were talking about our trip and he pissed me off over something that needed to be printed out. I walked away from him and I can't look at him either. If I do he has this funny look on his face with those brown puppy dog eyes looking at me melts my heart. He is too goofy to try and have my I'm pissed at you look on. Never fails he always has the one question "Honey why you are mad at me?" Then I try not to laugh but can't help it. Then I forget why I was mad. Anytime I want to be mad another statement comes out of his mouth like" You look so sexy when you are mad." Heaven forbid I turn around "Dame you have a nice ass shake it!" I swear there is nothing I can be mad at him for. He always wants to try and give me a kiss as I push him away. He will make a heart with his fingers over his chest to tell me" This is my heart and it's breaking for you!"What where did that come from Really? He then slaps my butt and says “Baby this is nice!" Among others thing I would rather not say its a little Rated R. I still get butterflies in my stomach when he walks in the room. Steve can still make me laugh after all these years. It's something I cherish many people don't have this. I'm glad we work on us to keep it this way. I love how we don't fight or have a disagreement about anything. It's because no matter how serious it is it's not. Steve comes up with some whoppers I tell you. He is funny with some well all of the stuff that comes out of his mouth. I remember the first time we went to pick up his bike. I was nervous about following him in the car. I told him that I'm sorry ahead of time if I run him over. He looks at me in awed that I just said that. He says “Okay I hope you still love me after I yell at you for running me over. You better be nice to me." "I didn't mean it I swear!" That would have been a conversation for the medics to talk about. They would be saying wow! Still I love this man to death. Last night at this Thai food place he tries to get our son to believe he was eating cow tongue. He jokes with Jay all the time it's hilarious! I can't wait for our family vacation with the boys. It is going to be fun.

Detroit Zoo

The Detroit Zoo was a bit confusing I would suggest go to Toledo Zoo instead. However we all had a great time with  my mom,niece and nephew who went with us.  This sign  for example you can go right or left. My question to you is what way is straight? When the sign leads you no where. Just a thought. A couple stop me to ask where something was I couldn't answer them we were just walking letting our feet lead the way. The Dino exhibit was pretty neat had to be one of my favorite. The peacock top it off who almost took out the boys.

Pretty bird they were just walking with the crowd of people. The kids wanted to touch them but we kept them away.I'm not sure what they would do. The one in the picture was moving it's feet like a bull would making funny noises. lol

I do like how there is no glass unlike Toledo but with lots of walking. My niece thought a ant eater was an elephant. She is four and too cute.

This was just Sunday then we came home to finish up some yard work. We were going to go to a friend's bbq but we all fell asleep. I guess being out in the sun mad us real sleepy. All the walking was alot to do in one day. Justin is so silly he wanted to stay the night in the zoo. He really liked the lemurs there. Steve and I were thinking about buying one after we took care of a client who had one along with lots of other animals.They are cute.

We seen the fireworks this weekend too. I was happy to see that Christopher was okay with them this time. We went to my aunt's house where my sister almost blew her hand off with a bottle rocket. I told the boys this is why we don't play with fire and let Aunt Nikki near it.
Gotta love her for trying even her husband said this is why there will not be fireworks at his house.He can't watch everyone and his wife. Love ya Andy.

I think I'm getting use to driving our new truck we just brought. My Tahoe is awesome! Now I'm a Mexican like my sister says.  I like when my hubby drives makes me feel a little safer. I should say the people on the road are safer. I feel like running over some people Michigan drivers are the worst. They don't know that red means stop. Yellow means slow down a stop sign means just that STOP. I can't forget that when you are driving 50mph that you should keep your speed instead of just stopping for no reason. Turn signals are great to use that's why they were put in the car to begin with. I'm just throwing this out there some rules need to be followed unless you don't speak or read English but still was able to get a Michigan driver's license.
