Today is the day before I return to 163. That is the worst thing about being on vacation...you have to go back to work eventually. Thinking back on this week off, the highlight of course is mom's visit. We had so much fun. She was such a trooper. She ate at new funky restaurants. She walked all over the dang place, with very little wining. She saw lots of sights. I loved riding the Staten Island Fer
ry with her. The Statue of Liberty was quite the sight. She even had perfect timing. The weather was pretty good while she was here, including a 55 degree day. As soon as she left, we got blasted with snow and rain. Such a relief that didn't happen during her visit. The highlight I think for both of us, was on the final night we went to see "Wicked". One word.......Fantastic!!! We both were in la la land after.Although her visit did make a bit homesick, it was well worth it. I cant wait to have more visitors. Everyone is welcome. Jakey and the big apple will be waiting...
