Overheard in New York

The lotus life family is currently in New York City enjoying the sites and trying not to kill the two smallest members due to perpetual whining and running off without their leashes (I keed! I don't put leashes on my children...yet). We've been going on a trip every weekend for the month of January; taking advantage of off season travel sales and comp time off. There's so much to write about and very little time these days. This quarter I am attempting a full time course load as well as full time work and so blogging has been bumped down a few notches on the priority scale.

Anyhoo, back to our being in New York City. There are so many things I want to remember; our trip to the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museam of Art, the fact that we raced through much of the latter due to our lovely children and their need for naps and things to touch, the discovery that the food in the San Francisco Bay Area is SO MUCH BETTER; the realization that due to our being so incredibly spoiled by our area food scene, every destination will probably be a disappointment foodwise. Ah, so much to write about and remember. The kids will probably not remember much of anything about this trip (so we'll have to bring them back again sometime), but J, he has only one real memory that he'll cherish forever.

While we were rushing through the Met Museum, through a section devoted to nekkid ancient Greeks to be exact, J burst out laughing inexplicably while I was eyeballing the details of the impossibly high ceiling. I gave him a quizzical look thinking he might have spied a disproportionately tiny winky or something, however, he responded to my look by explaining that he had just overheard some museum guards say, "...if the zombie invasion happened during the day, we'd probably die at the museum..." Ah, I (heart) New York.
