Comic Con

Katie and Jennifer went on their yearly adventure to Comic Con. Of course that provides a good opportunity for a costume!

We were ready for exploring!

I decided to dress as Furina, one of my favorite characters from the Genshin Impact game.

What Did She Get?

In addition to the birthday gifts that she received, Katie, of course, got some gifts at the Japanese store. She tried two of the popular drinks that they have in Japan, and she really wanted to try moon cakes that were in stock for the Autumn Festival.

I found out that moon cakes come in all sorts of flavors. The box we got were moon cakes with nuts. I liked the cake, but not as much as I liked the drinks I got.

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.
