Serendipity and FAO Schwartz

One of my favorite movies is Serendipity. Jen surprised me after the Museum by taking me to the restaurant called Serendipity at the beginning of the movie. It was a very long walk (we were trying to let the boys sleep), but well worth it. Of course, I had to try their famous "Frozzzen Hot Chocolate." It was so good!!!! I searched the Internet and found the recipe.

What kind of Mama would I be if I had not shared it with Jacob. He loved it!

Then we went to FAO Schwartz. This was probably the best day for the boys. We let them run wild in the store. They were laughing and having the best time.

This is one of the best stories from our trip. Jacob loves dogs. When we walked into the store, there were these displays all over with stuffed dogs on them. Jacob went crazy screaming for him. He pulled tons off the displays. He selected two to walk around with. The brown and white in the picture above and a bulldog (gotta love that!). We had to have been in there for 2 hours or more, and he never put those dogs down. Of course, I had to get him one. He selected the brown and white dog, which looks a lot like the "doggy" that I played with growing. Renee, I thought you would like that. Thank goodness "dog dog," as Jacob calls him, was not too expensive. But I probably would have paid a small fortune for dog dog with the way Jacob was loving him.

Where's Jacob???

Only Jacob would find the lone ball in the section where they were not supposed to be! He soon found the large display of balls though.

We could not leave the store without letting the boys play on the piano. We got to the piano right at closing time, but the workers were nice enough to let the boys play for a bit.

Jacob and Dog Dog on the streets of New York waiting on a bus. Dog Dog goes with us everywhere now. Along with his green blanket Gabby and Perrin gave him when he was born. The blanket is in the storage part of the stroller. I was doing my best to keep NYC street mess from getting all over it.

The boys were so tired after the day. Notice that they are holding hands. Isn't that sweet!
