Taking a bite out of the Big Apple-osours

Five weeks and a computer crash ago, I returned from an all too brief New York trip. This was quite definately NOT your sex-in-the-city New York, oh no! 15 min shopping and champagne interludes were sandwiched between trips to the Museum of Natural History, the Central Park Zoo, and every park in a 50 block radius around Tribeca. The only real browsing we did was in the Pylones … where Tings got many little toys that kept him busy for hours, including a kangaroo measure tape and this super cute thermos.

B is endlessly amused at my desire to design the perfect kitchen and my fascination with cool cooking utensils given my disinterest to actually utilize either. Anyway, back to snapshots of the NYC trip:

Tings, emulating NY’s finest :

I packed 5 pair of shoes for him and none for me! Who says a leopard doesn't change spots?!

Eating ice cream:

Enjoyed hanging out with his Maashmash at the Zoo (poor thing carried him around twice on her shoulders and searched vainly for the elusive snow leopard!):

Explored the dinosaur Museum with Nani & Maash:

Then on to Central Park - just spectacular in any season:

We danced to the band playing in the park:

Ate more ice cream :

Funny Notes from the trip:
- Completely unprompted, little Tingu gregariously spouted ‘Ne How, Ne How’ from his stroller as we passed through China Town.
- Tings also chatted up folks (& dogs) on the street, waving at strangers from the balconeys where we had brunch.
- Chubbs pulled out an ironing board and Tingu was completely fascinated by the demonstration! I found it quite funny that our household gets by quite fine without one!

These little Mom and Chubbs trips are so cherished. We always have a blast! The three of us piled into one bed or two on one couch!! After Tingu (finally) went to sleep, we would stay up gossiping and frantically trying to quiet our laughing. The best, even if you made us walk 70 damn blocks!!
