NYC.......

When we visited Ocean Beach last year, we had a gift certificate to Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill restaurant.

We were totally excited.

We wanted it to be a family thing.

As Chris and Melissa live there it was easy for them and they became the tour guides.

Tom and I road the double decker train into NYC and what a cool ride that was. We sat at the top and Tom was like a kid in a candy store. Liz and Owen (2) rode in from Westfield on the train. I was sooooooooooo impressed that they came alone (Kevin had a previous appt).

We met at the restaurant and the food was awesome. We all shared. Oh yum!

We had a great time, and Owen was sooooo good.

I got to do the wine thing. I was sooooo clueless.

And the dessert. Was delicious. And Owen got to blow out the candle in a banana (cute idea).

And then we walked back through the city. We parted ways in the train terminal each going in different directions. It was a long ride back.

What an adventure.
