Mom & Daughter Day

We definitely needed a day just to ourselves. Both Leah and myself felt like we were missing some time with just the two of us. We decided to head into Manhattan for a day of wandering and then eventually meeting up with my friend Jen and her family. We didn't have a specific plan, just felt the day out. It was a good Winter day for walking around. Cold but not windy.

We started off with heading to Central Park. We walked through and ended up at the Central Park Zoo. We have made good use of our membership to the WCS zoos. Definitely going to renew our membership in June.









On the way out of the park by the Children's Zoo we stopped by the Delacorte Musical Clock. Waited for the half hour and the wonderful show. Leah loved it.



We headed out of the park and walked crosstown towards Alice's Tea Cup:Chapter II for dinner. It was a 30 minute wait but it went by pretty quickly. Leah ordered their 'Wee Tea'. Comes with her choice of drink, she chose a pot of their Berry Bunch Fruit Tisane Tea. It is a blend of flowers, hisbiscus with fruits and berries. Very tasty. She chose their buttermilk scone served with clotted cream and preserves, chicken fingers (no surprise) and their delicious chocolate mousse.



Everything was good. We weren't rushed, took our time.

Following dinner we walked down to Aunt Lindsay's to see if she was around but she was out and then headed over to visit my friend Jen at a local hotel in Rockefeller Center. Jen and her husband Keith were going to be on the Today Show the following day on one of their weightloss segments. Leah has never met Jen's daughter Mairi but you would've thought they were best friends since birth. It was a great visit.
