Serendipity and Such

We've had such a fun week! On Monday, Uncle Dave, was in town on business and we had such a great time getting together for dinner. It was a real treat for us to be with him and have dinner on his company's tab :).

Manhattan has all of a sudden turned intensely hot and muggy so we've been trying to do things to keep cool. Yesterday we spent the day in the Manhattan Children's Museum and explored a little of the west side. The girls loved the museum, especially baby Jane who loved exercising her new crawling power to explore everything. She was practically giddy. Millie and Abby especially enjoyed exploring the Dora the Explorer exhibit.

Today we had another park day and a special lunch at the restaurant Seredipity 3 -- known for its appearance in various movies and the frequency of celebrity sightings there (we actually did see, gulp, Amanda Bynes. She was, like, 10 feet from our table and actually smiled at us. :)) It's famous for its frrrozen hot chocolate and its ice cream sundaes. It was a fun "touristy" experience and the girls eyes popped when they got their desserts. There was a small table near us where restaurant employees sat to eat on their breaks. Millie observed it and said, "Mom, is that where the servants eat?" Apparently a great deal of vocabulary comes from her Disney princess movies.

We're feeling a little sad that things are wrapping up here in NYC and that Mark will be leaving for Atlanta soon -- we'll be done this Saturday -- but the girls and I are excited to visit dear friends in Boston before heading to SLC for Uncle Matt's wedding.
