We're going to NJ

[hsapiens]

Finally, finally, finally have gotten the better half to commit to the dates he's available for traveling to NJ! We're going to a wedding on Sat., Sept. 16 but will be around for a couple more days (Sun., Sept. 17 - Wed., Sept. 20). We're flying out the evening of the 20th.

Since he isn't thrilled at the idea of going to the Brooklyn Museum - which totally boggles my mind but I suppose not everyone grooves on archaeology - I'm trying to think of things to do in the City that will interest him. He's big time into American history, military history, and enjoys hikes. Obviously, some time in Central Park is called for and South Street Maritime Museum looks like a good possibility as does delving into history in and around Wall Street. There's probably a night at Spamalot in our future, as well.

jalabert has already given me some excellent suggestions and I'm researching them. Any others are welcome, as well, since this trip has to please BOTH of us. :)

We need to look at our schedules but we'll definitely make time to see you!

I understand that there's work and this is so damned last minute. I really hate that aspect but my schedule depended on Joe's since he was coming, too. HOWEVER, I *am* returning the first week of November. If schedules don't mesh for this visit, then you have plenty of warning to run for the hills prepare for another visit then.

I'm thinking the best opportunity to visit with everyone might be on Sunday, whether it's brunch, dinner, or something else. We'll have a car this time so it opens a few more options. As if we needed more. :|

The one thing on our calendar for sure while you're here is tickets for a gig in Philly on Sunday night. Other than that, looks like we're open.

mcroft may not have time off, given that we're trying to make it to Texas in December and have at least two other social commitments, so it may have to be an evening thing or Sunday day.

Oh yeah - I'd already forgotten that youse guys were making a pilgrimage home in December. Oops.

Seriously, y'all took so much time to walk me around, host me, and generally make certain that my visit last year was such an excellent one. I don't expect that everytime I visit, much as I appreciate it.

I think Sunday brunch is sounding more likely, then. Unless Joe eschews the city entirely for a vacation in the mountains or Philly. Wish I knew better what he wanted. Although, I suspect all I need say is "Tall Ships" and I can guarantee a visit to South Street. ;)

And then, there's the whole Ellis Island possibility. Decisions, decisions.
