Last weekend, I took a long weekend to go on a trip to NYC with my dad and we had a fantastic time! We got lucky with good weather and amazing food of course.
Some highlights from the trip:
- Ate melt-in-your-mouth pasta in Little Italy
- Got bombarded by people offering "watches, handbags, gucci, rolex" in Chinatown
- Mastered the subway (even successfully offered directions to a few people who asked!)
- Visited Central Park for my dad's first time
- Visited the Metropolitan Museum for both of our first time
- Went to Macy's. Three times.
- Went to a fancy, expensive steakhouse
- Walked. A LOT.
- Went to the top of Rockefeller Center on a clear sunny day

In the meantime, Ellie stayed with her best friend Goldie (and my sister) and had a great time being allowed on her bed and couch. She's not allowed on the furniture at my place ;)

It was great spending lots of time with my dad and had some very successful shopping outings, but I am glad to be back home with my doggy!
sounds wonderful. Momma misses NY and the good food

ReplyDelete@Caren LOL my dad is 50; youthful looks run in the family (I still get carded for lotto tickets and I'm 24)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! Sounds like an amazing time! And that picture of Ellie is adorable. She looks all innocent, like she is practicing her "I didn't sleep on the bed" face. hehe
ReplyDeleteI am 55 and he looks A LOT younger than I do! You are blessed with an amazing gene pool my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really fun trip!
