A Birthday Wish

Since we all had Katie's birthday off this year, I asked her where she would like to go, what she would like to do. Her answer was to go to her favorite Japanese grocery store. Her answer surprised me, but we granted her wish.

I got everything I wanted!

A Short Trip to the City

Much of the summer was spent taking short trips to Katie's favorite places. Of course, we had to visit one of her favorite Japanese anime stores.

How can you not be happy when you pass this on the way in?

China Town

One of the last places Katie and Jennifer visited on their trip was China Town.

Central Park

Central Park was next on the list of experiences.

New York Public Library

Jennifer and Katie had a lot of fun at the library. I didn't know that there was a museum as part of the library. They spent a lot of time there.

I was so excited to find the library.

One of my favorite things inside with the Winnie the Pooh stuffed animals that the publisher of the books donated.

St. Patrick's Cathedral

While they were in the neighborhood, Jennifer and Katie visited St. Patrick's Cathedral.

The Lego Store

Whenever she can, Katie drops in on the Lego Store.
