First things first, thank you all so much for the congratulations and well-wishes! :D
So after last weekend's whirlwind road trip to Toronto, it was time to rest.
Unfortunately, instead of resting, we took it upon ourselves to drive to NJ this last weekend.
Exhausted yet? How about getting up the next morning and taking the train into NYC for the day, and tearing around on the subway all day, dragging a stroller and a 4-year-old through Penn Station, uptown, downtown, and through the streets of Soho in the rain?
Owen loved the train ride. This was how he looked for the entire hour.
While M had a meeting to hopefully pick up some freelance work, Owen and I went to Chat 'n' Chew around the corner. He was trying to draw Yoshi eggs.
Then we went to the Whitney Biennial, which sounded like a good idea at the time, but less so when your junior art critic is bitter about the lack of any Super Mario leitmotif. After powerwalking the exhibit in about 40 minutes, we headed to Rockefeller Center (oy) to visit Nintendo World instead.
The mood brightened considerably after that.
Then we met some lovely folks for dinner:
Thanks for venturing out with us,look and B! We had lots of fun!
After dinner, we headed back to NJ on the train to spend the weekend with M's family, and arrived back home last night. Ok, kinda tired. How was your weekend?
