Mother's Day May 2009

I had a great mother's day this year. Nothing major. Just a simple day. We all strolled down the street to our local diner for brunch and then the kids and dad washed my car and vacuumed it. This was no small feat given the amount of crumbs that had collected on the floor, in the seats, etc... The kids put on their swimsuits and each took a rag to the dirty car. Dad squirted them with the hose, setting off squeals galore. The day was sunny and bright with a nice breeze. Perfect! 

Tres in The City April 2009

For Tres' spring break this year he and I did a "mother/son road trip" to NYC. It was the first time for me to drive up to NYC and into Manhattan all by myself and the first time for Tres to set foot in NYC (although he has driven over the GW bridge a few times in route to and from D.C. and Cape Cod). We stayed with a good friend of mine from high school whose family lives on the Upper West Side.

Tres had a great time. The best part of the trip for him wasn't the ferry ride to Staten Island to see the Statue of Liberty, the observatory on the Empire State building, 42nd street, South Street Seaport/Brooklyn Bridge, or Museum of Natural History. Rather, it was hanging with his friends, Demetria and Keifer.
