weekend with the family

so my nephew who is all of a year old and some change is definately a "boob man". it's quite amazing and somewhat startling! large, small, tan or white, he is fascinated by breasts.

he likes to stare, touch, poke, etc. a grown man would get slapped for much less! lucky for him, he's still a baby and so darn cute that everyone adores him.

weekend with the family was wonderful- low key and pretty relaxing. one thing i did realize is that new york city is not exactly the most kid-friendly place. it was a struggle trying to get around with two kids and a big bulky stroller.

on friday, met up with sis, her hubby, and the kids for lunch at "say cheese" in hell's kitchen. a great place for kids and the best cheese sandwich and tomato soup i've ever had. our waiter was incredibly friendly and accomodating.

then we went to the american museum of natural history. it was wonderful for tj. the kids got to run around, touch whatever they wanted, and stare in awe of the huge dinosaur fossils. then we checked into the hotel and rested a bit. we drove back to williamsburg and grabbed dinner at the williamsburg cafe. i had only been there for brunch before but i must say they have amazing sandwiches (ribeye. . hmmm. . .).

seconds after getting back into the car, the kids were passed out. we got back to the hotel, chilled, and watched t.v. and talked for a few hours. next morning, we met up with a few friends and my parents at dim sum in c-town. dim sum go go was the place. definately nice decor and the food was okay, but i still like golden unicorn the best.

my parents were exhausted because the greyhound they took was delayed and they had to wait for four hours at the richmond station for the baltimore bound bus. so we just went back to the hotel and rested up. i think we all ended up napping. for dinner, my sister and i went to hanbat to order korean takeout for the family. we had a huge feast and it was quite good (although not as good as eating there). originally, my sister, brother-in-law, and i were supposed to go out for some drinks. . but i wanted to spend more time with my parents since they got in so late.

i ended up watching lady in the tramp, beauty & the beast christmas, and mulan with my niece until she fell asleep. then my sis and brother in law went for a walk, stopped at blockbuster, and picked up some dessert. we watched "layer cake" and started to watch SNL when we heard a loud thump followed by horrendous crying- apparently my niece fell off the bed.

poor thing. . funny tho that she had no recollection of it the next day! sunday morning we headed back to williamsburg to meet nels for breakfast and so my parents could pick up the car.

the rest of the afternoon was pretty relaxing. hung out with nels for a bit, went on a 7 mile run, and watched a couple hours of the oscars at the williamsburg cafe.
