US Open Extravaganza

I know this is several weeks overdue, but the pics are still just as much fun!  Here are a few shots from Mom's and my trip to the Big Apple for some FANTASTIC tennis!

First, we went for lunch and mimosas at the Southside Seaport.  That's the Brooklyn Bridge... we think.

 The NY Stock Exchange was just a block from our hotel.

 Construction of the monument at Ground Zero.  Also just a block from us.

 St. Paul's: The church that remained unharmed in the attacks on 9/11.  It housed many of the rescue workers during the recovery efforts.

 The Broadway Theater from "Promises, Promises" with JUST JACK!

 Fresh off the train to Flushing headed to the tennis center!

 WOOHOO!!

Match 1: Sam Stosur

 

Ryan Harrison=My new favorite American player

John Isner=GIANT

Harrison match.  It was SO exciting!

Right before the tie break

So close, Ryan... so close.

Ana Ivanovic

Sam Querry

Mom's favorite bum

Central Park on a beautiful Saturday

Several shots from Center Court...

The Mets

John Blake v some Serbian that I should know

Jeter and Lyla were there

This statue stood in front of the World Trade Center.  It was damaged 9/11 and moved to Battery Park nearby.

WWII memorial.  I thought it was beautiful.

This is the closest we got to the Statue of Liberty

And this is as close as we got to the Yankees.

It was a GREAT trip!  Saw cool things, visited family, and witnessed some really great tennis!  Thanks to everyone who helped us get there.  Until next time, NYC...
