Phinneus Takes Manhattan

Phinneus made his first trip to NYC the other day. We loaded everyone (Trish, Randy, Maggie, Phinneus & me) into Wanda McBetty (Maggies car) and trecked into "the city" to meet Amy & mangia on some thin crust pizza! We met Amy at her apartment, squezed in to show the outta towners, did a little diaper changeroo & were off to Columbus Circle & Central Park. After about 30 min in the park (not just any kinda minutes, these were 30 NY minutes!) we made the journey to the restaurant for a bite! Andrew was able to meet us, as his theatre is around the corner from John's Pizzeria. So not only was this Phinneus's 1st time in NYC, it was his 1st time in a restaurant.... Now I was a bit scared of how he'd react to being in a busy restaurant, but he was exceptional! He got passed around the table 2 times, didn't make so much as a peep & just looked around as we gorged on yummy pizza! After dinner it was off to the American Airlines Theatre. Andrew gave us a tour, we even got to see the lounge where the "muckidy mucks" relax during intermition. Of course we used the theatres "facilities" for another diaper changeroo & we were Jersey bound! We were amazed at how well Phinneus handled the trip. He's gotten so much better! a week ago he wouldn't have been able to deal with a trip like that.

So Saturday was Trish's birffday & we had a 'lil party! We had paella, beans, potatoes, hushpuppies & sangria. For dessert we had a George Takei cake from Shoprite. They took a picture & recreated it on the cake. The picture was edible to!

Today we bid farewell to T & R, I dropped them off at LaGurdia late this morning. We had a great time! thanks for coming out to visit! See yous at Xmas! Yous guys are sweet, so sweet! Yetteree! Chicken aint nuthin butta bird!

PEACE!
