Georgia's Birthday Celebration in NYC

On August 21st, we traveled to New York City to celebrate Georgia's 75th birthday.  She has always wanted to spend a week in NYC doing museums, plays, and nice meals.  So off we went.

As a bonus the US Open Tennis tournament started on August 27th, and we were able to take in two days of the tournament.  Going to the US  Open tennis tournament was on our bucket list, as it was the only Tennis Grand Slam tournament that we had not attended.

We were able to get play tickets to "Hamilton", "Hello Dolly" with Beth Midler in the leading role, and "The Band's Visit", winner of ten 2018 "Tony" awards.   The US Open was special, but NYC was under a heat warning so we came back to our hotel both Monday and Tuesday needing a shower.

Here are some pictures of our week in NYC:
