Better late than never.

So I've fallen behind on posting already. Two weeks ago Brian and I headed out to the Meadowlands to see my first professional basketball game. We got there early and walked around the construction site once known as Giants Stadium. It was a little weird seeing all the rubble behind the gates Brian took some pictures and reminisced a little about the place in which he has spent MANY Sunday afternoons and nights.


After our walk around memory lane we headed over to the Izod Center for the Nets game. I know Brian mentioned in our previous post how he got these tickets...well I am telling you now that my fiance is amazing at finding good deals. A night out for 2 at a professional sporting event along with parking and souvenirs (key chain for my collection and a pin for Brian's) the total cost was....$6.99. That's right for less than the tank of gas it took us to get there and back we were able to enjoy a great night. While the Nets and the Hornets were swapping baskets on the court, we were swapping seats around it. We started one row from the top on one end of the court and eventually moved to the opposite end and much farther down. At the end of the game we headed back to the car and off to my old stomping grounds in Clifton.


The Tic Tock Diner was pretty much how I remembered it. There were many Friday nights after temple spent at this diner as well as lunches catching up with out of town friends. I kept looking around at all the patrons and staff to see if I recognized anyone. Unfortunately I didn't. It was nice to share this part of my childhood while enjoying some really good food with Brian. I even talked Brian into driving past Temple Beth Shalom. Not much to see in the dark other than it's outline, so I guess the place is still standing.

More adventures to come soon :-)
