Adventures
Yesterday, I had an adventure. I drove to Newark train station with my Mum and we took the train into Manhattan. Now, my mother and I do this quite often, but not always to such a degree. We decide what we think would be fun to do and then do it if we have the time. Yesterday was one of those days when we had the time and the desire to go for it. So we went to New York for tea.
When I told this tale to Arlo he couldn't understand why we would go so far for a simple cup of tea. But this was no ordinary tea house. This was Alice's Tea Cup, one of the coolest tea houses ever! It has an Alice in Wonderland theme and serves tiny sandwiches, scones and various cakes and cookies. And after hours of driving and only having a small breakfast, we were famished. So after meeting up with mum's friend there, we ordered the Jabberwocky (unlimited sammiches!).
I must say, I'm glad we did it. While I could have slept in a whole lot and watched movies all day this was a much more fun way to spend my time. Even though people think it's stupid to hang out with their parents I'll admit that I enjoy it sometimes. Mum and I go on fun trips. Sometimes they're planned out (like London) and sometimes they're spur of the moment. In the end all that matters is that they're fun. So yes, it was a nice vacation. Although I do think I would have enjoyed getting more sleep...eh, what can ya do?
On a separate note, I am still in need of a prom dress...and possibly a date. I think I may have a backup date now. That part can be worked out later.
