Our first trip as "Book Club" was to New York and boy were we excited. A weekend of shopping, theatre, and sheer bliss in the city was what we all needed . We arrived in the city through Grand Central. Off the train and in the city clad in black leather jackets, looking pretty hot .The hustle and bustle of the terminal had us all giddy as we strolled through with our luggage rolling behind. We needed help finding The Grand Hyatt so we made our way to two of New Yorks finest. "How do we get to the Grand Hyatt" we asked. Directions were promptly given and we excitedly headed out. As we were walking away one of the policmen yelled out "Hey, are you the players wives?" "No" we replied chuckling not really sure what they were talking about. It didn't take long for us to realize that there was a World Series game being held that night between the Yankees and the Atlanta Braves. The police officers were aking if we were "the players wives" How cool is that!!! From that moment on our name was not in question. It had been bestowed upon us and boy were we flattered.
So many images from this episode bring a smile to my face.A dozen black leather jackets...what sheep!The fact that none of us knew it was a World Series weekend.The China Club, getting lost and losing luggage to name a few! Needless to say the weekend was a bash. Good friends, great times and hysterical memories. That's our story and were sticking to it!!!
