New York Trip 2019- Day 2 (Continued)

Showing Vivian to our favorite eating places in New York...

First stop, BOBA GUY, the bubble tea place 

Trying to figure out what to order...

Mumu bonding with Vivian...

Strolling around the neighborhood...

 

We accidentally pass by apparently a very famous Pizza place...

 Hubby went back to try it couple days latter...

the verdict: BAD pizza (although he waited couple hours in line)

New York Trip 2019- Day 2

Our New York trip this year had been extra special,

as Vivian was able to join us!

We often starts our day at the Bakery, Maison Kayser

One of the many trips via subway,

This year, Daddy registered Mumu for a cooking class near Soho area in New York...

 before the class...

 Scouting out the place...

Mumu in action, making muffins... 

Making white bean soup...

 Hard at work, very focus...

 We think Mumu enjoyed it!

New York Trip 2019- Day 1

Again this year, 

we opt to go to New York US Open for our annual trip

and it has not disappoint!

On way to the airport via UPS...

Arriving at New York Laguardia Airport!

 later that evening, we ate at the famous restaurant in Central Park

Tavern on the Green...

 The venue is beautiful, 

entrance to the restaurant gives you a sense of history dating back 

when everything is grand and proper...

The dinning room is sitting under a clear dome

Sitting under the clear glass makes you feel as though you are outside

 Food there is nothing memorable

 but we ordered a roasted artichokes and it's interesting when it came out (as above)

We had to ask the waitress how to eat it!

 After dinner, we went to the Gelato place we discovered last year near Central Park

GROM...

Montreal Trip 2019- Day 1

We decided to visit Montreal again this year,

as Shannon our god daughter came to Montreal for a french camp

 Utilizing Toronto's UPS to get to the airport!

This year, we stayed at Hotel le St.James in Old Montreal for our first night.

 Pictures taken in the lobby of the hotel

First top, after check-in...   A bakery nearby

 And as you can see, we are happy to be back to Montreal again...

My Ballerina...

Mumu at her first ballet audition at National Ballet of Canada

 Getting ready at home

Mumu at the end didn't get in...

I was quite sad and realize it's probably more of my dream than hers

 hopefully she would still love to dance

and appreciate ballet.

Turning 45 years old...

Turning 45 this year!  

At this age, I start to see the impact of aging...

it can be scary.

Glad that we have Mumu, 

as aging also means seeing her growing up each year 

and it has been a fun journey so far.

Merry Christmas 2019

Annual Christmas Portraits, at Fairmont Royal York...

 As our tradition, we had afternoon tea at the Library Bar at the Fairmont, 

then took our Christmas pictures at the hotel

 We also took some pictures in and around the Santa Clause Chalet
