Yea, I think that will have to be on the 'must do' side of the ledger.

NYC is such a boring place to go. Not like Lincoln Nebraska...the epicenter of the universe!

Katz is damn good. Go to Times Square as well we had fun there. I'm trying to remember some other places we ate at but we went on a trip all over out east.

Because BBR doesn't like Nebraska, so I was being sarcastic. Geez I hate having to explain a joke.

So how long until the Ex tries to demand custody on Mother's Day?
The will is not here, the will is at my office next to the hot plate with the frayed wires.

Well..... this went from festive to restive.
Say hi to my friend NYC. I was in the nw Iowa, Omaha area last September. Mom's 90th. I didn't have much time then. See you guys at a game in the next couple of years.
I don't care where you go in NYC, but know you and your girls will have the trip of a lifetime.

First off, I'm with MtHawk! If the mother wants Mothers Day and the Girls want NY, so be it, take a hike Mommy,m you could have booked NYC. But if I recall you did have this same problem last year BBR only a different destination, hopefully you cleared or the daughters are cool. I believe they are old enough the courts will say they have their own minds.
As far as you and the daughters going to NYC, I was in Chicago with you and I remember that very well. I suggest applying for another very low interest rate Credit Card.
Remember this is from a friend that has met you and your daugters and has been there.

I totally overlooked Mother's Day. I notified my ex via e-mail yesterday of the trip. I'm surprised the fan isn't already soiled with feces.

We discussed the timing of the trip extensively and this was the only time we could go. It is after Mary is out of school and before graduation. After graduation she is busy for a couple weeks with graduation parties. By that time Emily is in Tanzania for six weeks.

That's good. Sometimes you just have to do things when you can. I'm sure their mother wants them to have nice time.

She wants them to have a good time, just not with me.

Pete's Tavern is the oldest continuing running bar in NYC (was a floral shop speakeasy). Great food, has alot of NY memorabilia from Ny teams on the walls ...etc Ex Giants, Yankees, Jets players autographed Jerseys etc.
If I ever go back I would definetly hit this place.
