When we knew we were coming to New York for a month we asked mum and dad if they wanted to join us for a few weeks to celebrate mum's 70th birthday.
Waiting for the big arrival at the airport…….and waiting…….and waiting…….and waiting. Just when I thought something was wrong I luckily looked up and saw dad's bald head at the other end of the 'Arrival's hall.'
They seemed pleased to see me but were looking forward to their bed!
The next day we wandered into the flower district around Chelsea for an easy first morning.
We made time for a coffee stop at Joe coffee head quarters, one of our favourites in New York.
The excitement was obviously too much for mum and Nick who enjoyed a nanna nap back at the apartment.
Checking out the view on the roof terrace in the afternoon.
Dinner was at Peter Mc Manus, an Irish pub, just down the road where we introduced mum and dad to the hamburgers!
The next day we ventured a little further afield.
Having coffee at Culture, an Australian cafe with great choc chip cookies!
In Bryant Park ……
where you can find our favourite public toilets!
Complete with automatic seat covers!
The Chrysler Building, another favourite of mine.
First ride in a yellow cab!
Mum and I went to Mamma Mia as part of her birthday present in the afternoon.
The birthday bonanza had started well and we were looking forward to celebrating the big 70 the following day!
