First Trip to Citi Field!

I arrived in Pleasantville last Thursday night. It is great to be back in NY spending time with family and friends. I know my parents were happy to have all three of us home for a little while, before my sisters headed back to Virginia. On Tuesday I had the opportunity to see a Mets game at the new Citi Field for the first time. I went with my mom, Karen, and Kristin Proft. The weather was really nice and we were able to enjoy a Met victory in ten innings. The stadium is absolutely gorgeous! As historic and familiar as Shea Stadium was, it was not the nicest ball park, so watching a game at Citi Field was a real treat. Unfortunately the game was really boring for the first seven innings, as the Mets couldn't hit a lick. Then in the eighth, the bats came alive, and they eventually tied the game in the ninth. Carlos Beltran walked to bring in the winning run in the tenth. Another item of note was that in the fifth inning, a streaker ran onto the field and slid into second base, providing the stadium with a laugh. Though I miss all my Hokie and Highlander friends, it is great to be home for a little while. I am going to enjoy it for all it's worth!

The outside of the stadium may be the nicest feature.

The NYC skyline was a nice backdrop
