A Holiday Event

We have a family event scheduled for today.  We are going to the Holiday Train Show at the Bronx Botanical Gardens.

We have tickets for the 11:15 show and it will take about 90 minutes to walk around and see all the trains circling the various New York City  landmarks.  It has been three years since we did this and I don't think that Callum remembers it - I am excited to see his reaction to the show this year.

Afterwards, we will be going to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx to have a nice Italian lunch.  I have not been to Arthur Avenue in close to 30 years - the last time it was Christmas morning and I was standing outside the bakery to pick up Italian pastries for dinner.

We decided to do this event this year instead of Breakfast with Santa at Rockefeller Center - Callum really did not enjoy it, nor did he eat the food.   Given the expense of that outing this is less expensive and it is a donation to the gardens.

If you have never done this - it is a wonder to see.  Take your children, explore the gardens and then have a nice lunch or dinner in the neighborhood.
