After my 27th birthday this past year, I reevaluated what I wanted to do before I turned the inevitable, and sometimes, daunting, big 3-0. Then I realized that I’ve done a lot…I graduated college, moved to a new city by myself, went overseas, traveled, had my heart broken, fell in love again, got a puppy, got engaged, got hitched, moved closer to home, lost a job (or two), quit a job, and found a path to my dream career (which is entirely unrelated to said degree).
But, I wanted to make sure I had fun in my 20′s.
So I started the list (inspired by various other lists).
Wellp. I finally knocked one of them off.
#13. Go to a Yankees Game
I am pleased to say that on July 3, Hubs and I went to the House that Jeter Built and saw the Bronx Bombers play Toronto. It was pretty awesome. They won. We saw Brett Gardner’s first career grand slam.
{‘sup Yankee Stadium}
We ate. Drank. And were merry. A lot. We drank a lot. Pretty much all morning (starting with the train ride), all day, and then into the night. When we went back to Stamford, hit up Tiernan’s where I pwned Hubs at Knock Off (an electronic version of Shuffleboard) and he pwned me at darts.
{Here batter, batter, batter}
The stadium itself was AHHHH-freakin’-MAZING. I can’t wait to go again, unfortunately, since we had known about the game for a while (the tickets were hubs’ birthday present from moi), we knew to budget for it but…
$40 – train to Yankee Stadium
$20 – two beers @ game
$14 – two dogs
$8.50 – nachos to share
$40 – tickets to game
Total for one day at Yankee Stadium: ~$120
Love you hubs…
but furthermore, go Yankees!
What’s on your list of things to accomplish in life? Do you have a x before x list?
