Well, she's gallavanting the city with her BFF as I finish up some work for the week prior to the larger trip across the pond. But today, she came in Shel, Baby Lucas, and I went to get her and her BFF at Newark. First part of the day was just getting to the airport, which wasn't so bad. We were pretty much on-time with their flight arrival schedule, but still a little too early considering my mom's luggage didn't want to come off the plane and Shelly and Baby Lucas had to circle the airport a few times.
Once in the city the hotel room wasn't ready, and sadly, it wasn't even the room of choice. Apparently Hilton decided to overbook on their 2-bed rooms, but at least they were able to give my mom a high floor...so my mom wasn't forced to stare directly into her neighbors windows. She can just look down on them.
We had lunch at Shilla in Korea town, since it was a quick walk from the hotel while the room was getting ready. And despite the numerous plates you see here, this didn't include the actual barbecue beef and chicken. Yum, yum, yum.
After going back to the hotel to officially unpack, I took the ladies downtown as my mom wanted to shop at Century 21. We briefly stopped by St. Paul's Chapel so my mom can go in and start her side trip of "Tour de la NYC churches", and then found a few deals at Century 21.
To end the evening, we had a decent dinner at Mesa Grill, though I was hoping for something better :-(
All in all though, I came home exhausted and ready to finish up the day with some work emails and documents to get out. Day 2 they are on their own for the first half of the day...as they make their way through 5th Avenue shoping.
