Week with mom was good. I met her every night downtown and we walked and had dinner. I eat at all new places and found a new bbq place that is wonderful- I of course had the beef brisket. Tonight I picked mom up and Lucy, Olive and I brought her to the dog park. They love it there. Tomorrow I work a 1/2 day and Lauren, Quinton and I leave for the northeast at noon. I cannot wait. It is going to be so much fun! NYC is going to be wonderful- rain or shine.
