I can't stop laughing...
It could be worse.
Could have been the cab ride :)
She's off to a good start enjoying what is truly valuable in life! Sounds like an incredible trip.
You should buy a 48 bus pass. The daughter would be free and it would cost you I believe $5. It's fun to take the bus and so easy to get around.
Sorry - 48 *hour* bus pass
My kids' favorite part of any vacation was usually jumping on the beds in the hotel.
It sounds like you had a wonderful trip, expensive and tiring, but wonderful.
LOL.
I hope that famous pizza place isn't the one I'm thinking of. I ate there last fall when I visited and couldn't have been more disappointed.
Bobby flay's NY style pizza SMITES him.
