Our seats!!! After we moved down to the lower section. :)You can see Kim Clisters on the left hand side of the court.
Serena and the line judge before the "incident"
Nadal....finished out Gonzales in about 20 minutes...would have liked for him to play longer
Nadal again....Hubby and I waiting out the rain delays....
For my birthday, Ryan took me to NY to see the US Open. It is something I have always wanted to do and since we sold the house off we went! There is no time like the present to start enjoying life and doing the things you've always wished to do. Excuse the quality of these pics, they were taken with my phone. Later this week I will post better pictures...

Later this week I will post better pictures...One of the nights we were in New York we had dinner at my favorite place of all time, Gramercy Tavern. Five years ago, when I turned 25 we were in NY and ate at this particular restaurant. It is so beautiful I wish I lived there, in the restaurant that is. There are fresh flowers everywhere. And not the cheapy fresh flowers most restaurants have, the real expensive bouquets of roses and unique floral designs you don't see everywhere. On our table alone there was an arrangement with 12 roses (yellow and red in color)....which happen to be one of my favorites....
I wanted to walk around and take a million pictures of all the arrangements but I refrained, after all I didn't want to look like a tourist. I made my usual trip to the bathroom to check it out, I always do this at fancy places. To my delight it was as great as it was 5 years ago. As we left I grab a few boxes of matches, for memories. I still have the business card I picked up from there 5 years ago. Isn't it amazing how some places and moments stick in your mind forever?
Enough about that, back to tennis....
It was AMAZING! To have the opportunity to watch something LIVE that you have watched on TV all your life. I explained it to Ryan like this, imagine if he had always watched major league baseball on TV but never been to a game? Mom and I did get to see Agassi and Roddick play when I lived in Houston for charity. I have a picture of Agassi and Roddick standing right in front of Mom and I. We were walking around back in their locker room area like we were with the press. We had to call Darren to warn him we might get thrown out of the place if they ever realized we didn't have press credentials. Luckily, they never noticed :)
One of these days I will get a scanner and post those pics on the blog. What fun we had!!!
New York was an amazing trip, glad we got to experience it together....
