A Day Off at Governor's Island [Pic Heavy]

Last Thursday I took the day off and went to Governor's Island to watch the USA vs. Germany game. Though they didn't win, it was still a great venue to watch the game. I went to Governor's Island for the first time last year (sorry, some of the pics seem to be MIA; I'll try to update that!), however this time it was totally different because I went to the "Beach Club" area. I went in on the first ferry (10AM) in order to snag seats for my group of friends, which was a good idea because people were literally running to the area once the 11AM boat arrived! There was lots of food, beer, picnic tables, and of course sand! It was a great time and I definitely want to go back to see the rest of the island, as I hear that now they also have food courts and hammocks (but you have to get there early to snag one)! Here's a peak at my day there: 



At 10AM the staff was still setting up- the "beach" is in the back

Gotta love spaces with disco balls!

Hard to see, but the place was PACKED!

It was a great time and I can't wait to go back!
