N.Y. & N.O. To-Do List

Here we go:

Ten Things I Want to Do in New York and New Orleans
During My Trip Home

(In no particular order... and more to come over the next few days!)

* Walk barefoot in the green, green grass.

* Go to Playland with my niece and nephews. Dragoncoaster, yay!

* Have dinner at Aunt Ruby's in White Plains. Mmmmm, green bean casserole.

* Visit the Daguerreotype exhibit at the International Center for Photography.

* Down some raw fish and sake at Hanada Sushi with Mom and Bob. WASABI!!!

* Have coffee with Vicki at Magdi's. Sorry, sis, I mean: Coffees (plural!)

* Shop for many magazines at Barnes & Noble. Just the thought of the photography section makes me misty-eyed.

* Eat many, many Beignets at the Café Du Monde with Dad and Barbara. A 24 hour coffee shop? Sounds like love to me.

* Say "hey" to the neon pig at SouthBound BBQ with Andy, Marisa, and Andrew.

* Have a snowball fight with my nephews. (Doh! Wrong season.)

Re snowball fights--if you had written that 3 or 4 days ago, it might have been a possibility. Now we are enjoying beautiful summer-like weather. The grass is green (and so are the weeds) just waiting for you to run through, and we are here too waiting for you to come home. Love, Mom

Nice To-Do List Rob. I hope you get to do all the things on your list and more. See you soon. Love, Marisa (P.S. We will bring you back some chocolates from Hershey this week!)

Ummm....if did you not include me in the Beignet fest on the account that I will eat all of yours - I know where Cafe du Monde is. (Insert evil laughter here)

No snowball fight - no problem.
We can ( I mean you and the boys) can have a massive water balloon fight!
Now aren't you glad you started this list? love sis
