Yesterday Cap and I had rare alone time with just one child. A birthday gift to Sag, we spent a few hours with him riding the subway, wandering around the American Museum of Natural History (he likes the "stuffed animals") and tucking into one of the supposed best burgers in Manhattan (Sag, a burger lover, declared it the best burger he's ever had).
Gem hung out at Baba's. Later in the day we traipsed down to Rockefeller Center and hit both Nintendo World and the Lego store. The kids spent their otoshidama on Pokemon cards and we admired the Tower Bridge at the Lego store. Unfortunately, they didn't have any in stock. Sag has saved up a serious amount of coin for it.
After a yummy dinner at Baba's, we cozied up together around her laptop and watched a home movie Cap made awhile ago of our last (and only one as a foursome) trip to Japan back in Dec 2002-Jan 2003. It was breathtaking seeing the kids as toddlers. We are so looking forward to going back!

Sounds like a wonderful day. The American Museum of Natural History looks very cool.
It was a very nice day. I love how the dynamic changes when we are minus one kid for a bit. Things open up and focus at the same time.
The museum houses some very interesting collections. We had special tickets thanks to my mom (who had volunteered in an origami event there recently) and everything was free, including the special exhibits/movies. But all he wanted to do was see the big stuffed animals :-) It was his day so we followed his lead...
Maybe we can go on your Central Park trip, the museum borders a section of the park! xo
