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. :)

Fully dressed is a leg up on the dioramas of my youth -- and I'm going to spare you my wtf? reaction to the costume and the lame ass description, "This fantastic costume plays a significant role in the life of the culture in which it was produced." Because really, I'm probably the only one who gets so pissy over platitudinous signage.

I have to admit, the Southstreet City Archaeology thing looks interesting. Not certain about, "by appointment only" and how that translates to cost, but I think early NYC history could be very cool and a possible intesection of Joe's and my interests. Even if it is, yanno, so bloody modern. ;-)
