Sooo, my parents are in town to celebrate my graduation from NYU. The last time I participated in graduation was in 98, so this is sort of weird and wonderful. We went to the NY Botanical Garden when they arrived (after a three hour delay). I totally forgot my camera and my dad's was mis-programmed, so we only have pictures "in our minds". The next day was Mother's Day and I made a big breakfast and then we went downtown. Every single time my parents come to town- we ride the Staten Island Ferry, at my father's insistence. So here we are on the ferry- on the prettiest ride so far. After we took a walk around Battery Park. I finally got a haircut and then we had the lovliest dinner at The Little Owl. My fabulous friend L. works there and served us. We spent two and a half hours eating!
Here we are in the Westside Community Garden having a picnic. Notice how Sparks is making friends with my mom.
Today (Tuesday) we took a long walk, after the most enormous lunch at Shake Shack, around Central Park. Aren't they soooo cute? My dad has been wearing this vivid KU jacket all over town and today another Kansas transplant chatted him up on the street.
Azaleas in bloom..
The graduation ceremony for Steinhardt School of Education (and Human Development and Culture) was held at Radio City Music Hall. So after the endless speeches, I got to walk across the stage, which was a trip. But, most importantly, I didn't trip or fall or stumble- phew.
