It's been cold and rainy in the past two days, after wonderful weather Spring brought us last Saturday and Sunday. Fortunately, Mom and Dad and I have taken full advantage of the weekend and have had great time.
We spent Saturday apartment hunting in NJ. It was nice to see so many different places and meet so many people. I really like the place Mom and Dad have selected. It has a big beautiful swimming pool and Mom has already been very excited about playing with me in the pool.
The best part was Sunday though. We went out for brunch at Nice Matin, a French restaurant in our neighborhood. It has great food, very friendly (and good looking) staff, charming decoration; thus is always crowded in the weekends. We were lucky to have a table after only 10 minutes wait. It was great sitting by the window enjoying sunshine and watching people basking in the excitement of the newly arrived Spring season. Mom had a crab meat salad and a glass of freshly made lemonade with a hint of mint. Dad ordered steak and beer - his favorites for brunch time. We all knew that we would be moving out of this lovely city soon so were all enjoying every moment in this last several weeks as residents here.
After brunch, we headed to Central Park. Daddy put me on his laps and we sat by the lake watching people boating, horse riding, bicycling, jogging, etc. Michelle, my cousin in Indonesia, is very fond of taking a horse ride in Central Park. Uncle Peter, though lamenting about the $40 or so it costs for each ride, has always been very happy to treat her to some whenever they visit New York.
While Dad and I were enjoying our guys' time together, Mommy was busy talking on the phone with aunty Thang, who was calling from Vietnam asking her about things to prepare for her trip here in July. She will start her 2-year MBA at Carlson School in August. I can't wait to meet her. The other aunty I have in Vietnam, aunty Thu, will probably be very 'jealous' not being able to see me that soon. Mom loves them dearly and so do I. I'm looking forwards to the day when I can go to Vietnam and see Mom's family there. Mom and Dad are aiming for this coming Christmas-New Year season to bring me there. I can't wait...
