I can't remember much of what I received for birthdays growing up, but I have tons of memories of the trips I took with Mom, Dad, or Mimi & Da. I want to make sure Trey has those memories too, so for his birthday I got the idea to give him a choice - birthday party & lots of presents, or just a couple presents and a trip to NYC. I really wasn't sure what he would choose, but I was so touched when he chose the trip. What a good boy!!
We're going in May - just the 2 of us. We are staying at a Marriott in between Times Square and Central Park (thanks Dad!!). We have tickets to 2 plays - Matilda (Trey LOVES the movie) and Lion King (thanks Mom!!). And otherwise we'll do the touristy things and play in the park.
He brings it up often so I can tell he is excited. Today at school he made a journal for the trip!
