I mentioned earlier about going somewhere for Ro's birthday. as tempting as L.A. is, and as much of a disney dork as i am, i just can't do it. nor do i want to spend comparable funds on short trip across an ocean. makes no sense - if you're gonna travel such a distance, you need to stay for at least a week, maybe two or three!
i loved the suggestion of belize, but i don't want to work that hard. i will be working an event a couple of weeks prior, and would very much like to enjoy this as a vacation for me as well as for Ro. also, foreign countries require me to brush up on my other language skills, which are pretty shabby to begin with. throw a newly minted six-year-old in the mix and i'm gonna be miserable.
so. with the obvious choice of "stay-cation" lurking... my number one idea is NYC. nice hotel, ice skating at rockefeller plaza, central park, zoo, museums, maybe a musical or two? still spendy... but... the flights are cheaper, and i might even be able to recruit dad or mom (OR LYN?!) to join us and hang out.
it's a thought. what to eat will be a challenge, but pizza is everywhere, and as Ro gets more adventurous, so can our list of places to dine.
i wonder if the stage deli is still around? katz's deli and bubby's could work for us. pok pok too! see if sesame street has studio tours! a long weekend in NYC could be pretty cool for us. just a thought now - still need to get thanksgiving and MOVING in order.. egads, what if that's when we're moving? oy. vey. if it takes that long, i'll NEED a vacay before festy time.
just bouncing it around. of course, it's going to be hella cold, so maybe its not the ideal time to bring her there? but i don't quite know where else would be of interest and temperate and not-so-spendy...
don't give me cricket noises kids.. let me know what you'd do in my shoes?
