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. :)

*whimper* I'll never get Joe to it. He KNOWS I won't leave if we go. I'm such a museum hound. It has taken me three full days to get through the Egyptian, Assyrian, and ancient Greek collections at the Met. I admit, I also saw the Cloisters (jaw-droppingly great but so...recent) and some lovely Buddhist art from Asia and some stunning jades in that time frame. But really? Egypt and Assyria hold my heart. And I really need to revisit the Greek stuff because I was rushing through.

I'm going to try to get him to agree to the Pierpont Morgan. I think that's something we can both do but also both walk away after only 6 or 7 hours. *grin*

Oh, I'm sure we will. I end up visiting at least once a year now and there's always far too much to do and I'm always having to make tough choices. Woe is me, having to choose amongst world class museums and restaurants.
