#17 See Ellen and/or The View {Life List Wednesday}

My first semester of college I only had classes until 10:50, so I'd go over to the gym on campus and do the elliptical and bike for an hour and watch the View. Since NY City is only a few hours away and my mother and sister and I enjoy going there, I signed up for tickets to go see it. We got to go in July 2008 just before The Dark Knight was released and got to see Gary Oldman who was their guest as well as hear what the ladies thought of the new Jolie-Pitt twins' names.

It was a neat experience, but not quite what I expected. We waited in line for a few hours, it was really hard to hear what they were saying at times and the gifts we got were a Yankee Stadium book and a large set with body wash, lotion, etc. in it and they were heavy. We ended up getting what we called a hobo cart to wheel them around so we could do some more sight seeing and not have permanent back problems.

I still think it would be cool to see Ellen. Ironically, I really don't ever watch the View anymore.
