Happy Thanks…birthday, Mika!

Mika’s birthday, like Opa Addi’s, fell on Thanksgiving weekend again. Most of her friends were out of town, or spending all weekend with their families. Since we couldn’t celebrate a party on the actual date, Sung organized last minute tickets to one of Broadway’s most successful musicals, which also happens to be the story of one of Mika’s favorite books: Roald Dahl’s Matilda!

We spent the day playing tourist in our own city, going to all the places we usually avoid, and it was fun! The kids oogled Macy’s holiday windows, we all had great Korean food for lunch (an activity we certainly don’t avoid), and spent an hour people watching at Times Square. The actual show was amazing (!!)  Both kids were transfixed by the smart storyline and professional performance. Sung and I loved it as well. After the show, we strolled through Rockefeller Center, packed with tourists, before heading home on an equally crowded subway.
