We picked up the rental car and were on the road by 10:30am. We drove to Caroline's house in New Jersey, and arrived around 2pm. We had an early dinner and left around 4pm for Shea Stadium. It looked like it was going to rain and we were hoping that the game would not get canceled. We hit so much traffic heading in to the city, it took us over 3 hours to get there! Adding to that, New York drivers are the worst. After one of the tolls, we hit this ridiculous merge, where 6 lanes were going down in to two. Everyone was creating their own path and I really thought we weren't going to get through it without denting our rental car! It ended up not mattering much that we were late for the game, the game was rain delayed.
Our seats were in the upper section, directly behind home plate. The stadium was pretty empty and the weather not great. The stadium itself was pretty old and run down, it definitely wasn't a favorite. It started pouring mid game, so we ended up moving down under the roof. The Phillies won 6-3.

After the game, it took us 40 minutes to get back to C's. What a difference than earlier!
Tomorrow we are heading back to Boston....
