Took my soul mate beach buddy and her daughter and mine to NYC for the day. Braved the subway (with map and asking questions) to Battery Park and viewing the Statue of Liberty, up to Ground Zero, shopping at a place with incredible deals, up to Times Square, eating at a funky place, wandering around landmarks and the train back.
It was so neat enjoying the experience with folks who never expected to see New York City. They enjoyed my tour guideishness and we had a fun wonderful time.
Came home and chatted with my middle son who'd gotten sick halfway through the play. I saw a pile of mail and it looked like wedding invitations. Turned out it was for their father's formal wedding reception. I'm not interested in knowing the plans, just the date so I'll do something fun with the free time.
As we were walking in to the huge store, she finally figured out what she wanted for her birthday.. a perfect dress for the winter dance. It's fortuitous we found two great dresses for my daughter today, one for the dance and another that was too pretty to pass up. Now she already has something to wear!
