Boys had off from school today. So I decided since life was going in a good direction and I thought I could handle it well, I planned a road trip...well a train trip.
First we went by train into the city and then over to Hoboken to meet Dave for lunch. We passed by "The Cake Boss" bakery on our way to 5 Guys for a burger lunch. All going so far so good. First test, the boys want to get a bakery treat, since we as such Buddy fans and we watch the show as a family the boys really wanted to go in and order a treat, however the line is down the block and across the street. So we take pictures outside and move on...no meltdowns...umm.
Next I take the boys back to the city and we cruise on over to 81st and 77th st to see the Thanksgiving balloons being filled with helium. This is pretty cool, but also cold and we are starting with the "getting tired" signals. So we walk through and even see the new Wimpy Kid balloon make our way back to the subway and goto 42nd street. I put our names on the waitlist for dinner and go across the street to Toys R Us. The boys are really wowed. They could have stayed there all night. They reasonably agreed to not want to wait for the ferris wheel ride and make there way up to the Lego area. They Dave met us with a big surprise... he went back over to Buddy's Bakery after work and there was no line so there he was with a Buddy bag, and cake box. The boys were thrilled. We walked over to BubbaGumps for Dinner and went home all together. All in all it was a great day, not one meltdown...hummm
