Not sure if you can call this a road trip


Saturday night we will be heading to the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ perhaps for the final time. Just grabbed a pair of Nets tickets off of ebay for a total of $4.99. I have not been to a Nets game in years and did not plan on going again anytime soon. However with the team moving to Newark next season and than to Brooklyn I wanted to make one last visit to the big white box in the swamp.

Growing up 20 minutes from here I saw lots of events in this arena, mostly Devils games. Since they moved out three years ago I have been back only once for a concert. Some of the memories that the Devils gave me on my visits will be cherished but after being back in the building I truly realized that it was a dump with horrible parking that will not be missed.

Also planned for the weekend is a trip down Route 3 to the Tick Tock Diner in Clifton. This is a place Heather used to frequent when she lived in Jersey. Now we can both add it to our list of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives locations.
