Happy Birthday, Dad!

...belated birthday, that is. I have been a terrible blog updater! A few weeks ago, Adam and I were able to enjoy another visit from Mom and Dad Samu, this time for Dad's birthday! We had a great time exploring our surroundings, hanging out in the City, and just enjoying the company of family.
We went into NYC on a beautifully sunny (but still a little chilly) day, and decided to make Central Park our first stop, since we only caught it at night last time. The food trucks parked on the Green made for a perfect little lunch.
Then, after taking in the beautiful surroundings of the park and wishing we could go
bouldering on all the sweet rocks (ok, maybe that was just me) we made our way through the City. We had to make a stop at FAO Schwarz to see if anything caught our eye for our little and brand new (!)nephews, but a certain someone else got a little more joy out of it than we all anticipated. Adam gave new meaning to the phrase, "like a kid in a candy store." With teddy bears as big as he is and a ginormous selection of the freshest sour gummies around, I'd say he was a
happy camper.














Next we made our way into a hat store, where our studly men strutted their stuff, and then headed towards an old pizza spot my dad had seen on TV. Patsy's Pizzeria: a New York original, producing giant, fresh, coal-fired pizzas. It was delicious, and we had no problem scarfing it down after our day of walking.

This cake, on the other hand, we did not have as much room for. For Dad's birthday we got dinner at one of our favorite Indian spots in Stamford, Tawa. Unfortunately there were no awkward belly dancers this time, but we did enjoy some delicious food, and managed to save room for homemade German chocolate cake.

Happy Birthday, Dad! So glad you guys came!

(!) And on the birthday note, congratulations to Chad and Lindsay!! We are so stoked for the arrival of our new nephew, Asher!
