Everyone’s your friend in New York City

The kids and I are off to New York in a few hours. I’m looking forward to:

• Italian ices;
• Fireflies;
• A summer thunderstorm;
• Warm ocean water; and of course
• My mom, dad, and sister

…none of which are to be had here in Northern California. My kids are looking forward to Dino-Walk and Dylan’s Candy Bar.
