NYC Recap: The Park

by This is Carrie on April 16, 2009

After the zoo, we walked around the park trying to remember which places were featured in the “Enchanted” movie’s “That’s How You Know” musical number. We are also now convinced Kage should fulfill her busking dream dressed as Giselle, singing in front of the fountain and taking photos with the visiting children.

NYC Recap: The Zoo

by This is Carrie on April 16, 2009

The lousy NYC spring weather broke for our day in Central Park. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Being at the zoo, I couldn’t help but think of my favorite animated movie, Madagascar, except for the real Central Park zoo doesn’t have lions, zebras, giraffes or hippos..but they do have penguins. We watched one little […]

NYC Recap: The Party

by This is Carrie on April 16, 2009

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate a BFF’s 30th Birthday than a Karaoke Party at Gagopa in K-Town. We have so many fond memories in there…in this exact, badly sponge-painted room. I sang:Oops I Did it AgainEternal FlameHolding Out for a Hero

Still, on my fourth time seeing this show on Broadway, I can’t hold back the tears during the opening scene. It is completely overwhelming to all the senses.Princess loved every. single. minute. And for the first time, she caught the whole meaning of the “circle of life.”

NYC Recap: Steinway Street

by This is Carrie on April 15, 2009

We couldn’t visit NYC and not take a stroll down the main drag of our old neighborhood in Astoria, Queens. Nice to see not much has changed. Even picked up our old favorite chinese-sequined-summer-shoes. Two for $3. Booyah.

NYC Recap: The Met

by This is Carrie on April 15, 2009

After spending the morning as the Guest of Honor at her BFF’s elementary school (their first grade classes have been pen pals this year), we headed uptown to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We had been learning about some famous artists during spring break and Princess couldn’t wait to see their art first-hand.

We came home from our NYC trip right to a visit to the ER, Easter and Baby Brother’s Birthday. Finally a few posts to recap the awesomeness of the Uber-Mommy-Daughter date.

More Trophies in the House

by This is Carrie on April 13, 2009

Thankfully, no broken bones. Just a really bad sprain and a gouged knee. How’d he do it? The shirt tells the story perfectly.
