New York Mets - September 28, 2013

We traveled to New York to celebrate Aunt Lilo's birthday, so we took a short detour to take in a Mets game.  Owen loved our La Guardia landing.  He felt like we were going to land right in the water and it was the perfect amount of stress and suspense for him.

The Mets stadium is pretty far away from the city.  We got turned around a few times as we tried to navigate how to get into the parking lot.  Once we got there, we enjoyed visiting the Jackie Robinson pavilion.   We also loved the home run apple that shot fireworks when the Mets got a home run and crossing Shea bridge in right field. 

The food was a little disappointing.  We got some New York classics, like bagels and black and white cookies, but they were not as good as the originals in the city.  It's possible that we were still jaded by the 2nd Ave Deli, where we had some of the best food in the universe, including THE best matzoh balls soup I have ever tasted and the most delicious broth of any soup ever.
