See, Dreams Really Do Come True!

Every now and again, my Dad has to go overseas for a business trip, and luckily enough he schedules his layovers in New York and for as long as he can possibly make them so we can squeeze in a visit. Saturday we were lucky enough to have him all to ourselves from about 8 to 5. I love it when he comes. And not just because he spoils us. Mostly just because I love him so much and just enjoy seeing him.

This go around we drove into the city and spent the day bumming around. He decided to make Calvin and Wyatt's Nintendo dreams come true and take them to the Nintendo Store in Rockefeller Center.

Bliss, folks, pure bliss. Here you have the overwhelmed and stunned youngsters taking in the onslaught of Wiis, Yoshis, DKs, and Marios.

It was great to have Dad here, but he is always so serious. I could hardly get any pictures of him smiling.

This look of glee on Wyatt's face must be the look on a junkie's face when he gets his fix. What other comparison is there for a boy who has an arm load of Yoshis and Marios????

Look fast. This very well could be the last picture you see of this pregnancy.

We spent the rest of the stay roaming around the city. At one point we got a burger and shake at Stand. If you come to the city, you must eat there, and you must get the Toasted Marshmallow shake. It was divine. It was so good that after Dad tried a taste of mine, he abandoned his banana shake to the little boys and ordered one for himself. Seriously, delish.

So, has this convinced you to come and see me, yet??? We will be gone in less that a year, and you are going to regret letting this time pass you by. Seriously, I'll take you to Stand so you can buy me another Toasted Marshmallow Shake. You'll love it.

Now, run along and buy a ticket. I'm due in mid-October. You don't have much time. Call me when you know your flight info.
