Fun Times in NYC ~ Day 2

Fun Times in NYC ~ Day 2 ~ Oct 21


Yeah It's Tuesday and we started out in the morning for our first NYC adventure! My first time to ride a train and my first time to ride a subway! We took the Long Island Railroad into Manhattan. Of course we were chatting with the couple beside us about Ace... and she took this picture of us.


Signs of Ace all over NYC!







We made our way straight to the theatre to buy our tickets for the evening show. Look at the BIG posters of Ace, ahhh what a cutie!




Our first stop after the theatre was to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The weather was crappy with scattered rain and wind all day.

But it was very interesting at Ellis Island to see all of the history there. Both John's & my grandparents came through Ellis Island from Italy. I searched their data base for a while to find our family members but I didn't have dates or where they lived so I was unsuccessful. But I do have a website to continue the search from home.

Fun with faux Lady Liberty! Kimberly & I

Linda and Kimberly More amazing that I could have ever imagined! After the history lesson we made our way back to Broadway to see if we could see Ace before the show. We were lucky to catch him at the stage door. I was so happy to see him. When he saw me, he gave me a big "Welcome to NY" greeting and a big hug. :) There was someone there that took some pics of us but they came out all blurry. Not sure how someone can take such bad pictures with a point and shoot camera! We talked for a few minutes and then he asked me if we wanted to join him after the show for a couple of drinks at the bar next door. Not sure how fast I answered "that would be awesome" but I'm sure it came out really fast! LOL After Ace went in we ran into Dominic outside. He plays Vince Fontane in Grease and is the sweetest flirtiest guy.



Here are a few pics of Kenickie and Rizzo. Ace is the STAR of the show for sure!!







During our first show Kimberly and I were going crazy! I think I had must have said OMG at least 100 times! Ace is VERY sexy as Kenickie... We were squealing and giggling so much. I don't want to post here what Kenickie actually does during the show so I don't ruin it for others...but if you aren't going and want to know the HOTT details, just email me.





After the show we stood outside the stage door again. They set up barricades so that Ace can come out with his bodyguard and meet everyone. He does 8 shows a week and he always comes out after the show and meets everyone, signs and takes pics with everyone. I'm sure he is making a ton of new fans!


Afterwards we walked over to the bar. Ace sat us with two friends of his who turned out to be so much fun! They had been to see the show that night also. It was really nice just sitting and talking with Ace, nice and relaxing with a couple of drinks. He was only able to stay about 1 hour because he had somewhere to be after that. I'm not sure how he keeps up the schedule he does. But after he left we stayed with his friends and had a blast.

So that ends day number 2. Well except for the long train ride back to Long Island.



Stayed tuned for day 3 coming soon!
