We woke Erin up this morning and told her it was time to shower and get ready for the day. She thought she was going to school. We told her we had something else in mind - New York City.
Dan and I hatched this plan a few weeks ago and we've been biting our tongues and trying not to spill the beans. There were a couple of close calls where we almost blew it, but I'm happy to report that Erin was completely surprised and it felt really good to see the sheer joy on her face. We'd give our kid the world if we could...
So we walked around Midtown Manhattan tonight and ate some pizza. We took in the freakshow that is Times Square. I mean, where else can you see Hello Kitty holding hands with Mickey Mouse while listening to a singing cowboy who is wearing nothing but a cowboy hat, boots, and a speedo? It's quite a sight to see.
Dan and I told Erin this trip is for her so she gets to help plan the agenda. Tomorrow she wants to see the view from the Empire State Building, do some shopping, and then hopefully take in a Broadway musical.
That sounds perfect...
