Julia and Joanna in NYC

Julia and Mom took advantage of 2 days off school to head to NYC. We stayed at the Motto in Chelsea. After a sleepy redeye Wednesday night, we took the subway to the hotel Thursday morning. We walked the highline, had lunch at Willow, walked around Chelsea, did some thrift store shopping, had dinner at Planta Queen (very fun!), and walked into Milk Bar but didn't buy anything. On Friday, we took the subway to the Natural History Museum and the NY Historical Society. Then we walked through central park on a beautiful fall day. Then we saw mom and dad's old apartment on east 84th street and had a great Thai lunch at Bua Thai Ramen. We took Julia's [excellent] parent-teacher conferences in the hotel. Then grabbed a slice of pizza and walked up to Times Square to see Hadestown. On Saturday, we went to the Tenement Museum, walked partway over the Brooklyn Bridge (perhaps overrated), and then hit Bedford Ave for some great shopping/pastries/pizza/tea in Brooklyn. Saturday night we stayed at an airport hotel and flew back in time for Julia's soccer game Sunday. Phew. What a fun weekend! Can't wait to do it again!
