I was so happy that my mom decided to take a trip down & hangout with me for the weekend!
Her bus ran pretty late (shocker right?) so she didn't end up getting in until late Friday. We pretty much only had time to grab a quick bite to eat before calling it a night.
Her hotel was right in the heart of Herald Square where the HUGE flagship Macy's is, so Saturday morning we headed there in search of a dress for a wedding she's going to in a few weeks.
I thought I was indecisive about trying on & buying clothes but now I know where I inherited the trait from. We got to Macys right as they opened the doors at 10am and stayed until almost 1!
But she came out of it with a beautiful teal dress from Elie Tahari.
After that we met up with one of her old students for brunch at Calle Ocho.
The inside was gorgeous and it was packed! We soon found out it's known for having a ' free unlimited sangria bar' during brunch and that was why it was practically impossible to get a table. I got a yummy chicken quesadilla but afterwards we decided we needed to get cupcakes from crumbs since it was right around the corner!
My mom has only been to the city a few times so we did all the tourist-y things including walking down 5th ave and gawking at all the designer stores (we even went in Tiffanys & pretended to pick out an engagement ring hah!)
She left early Sunday morning but I'm really happy I'll be going home for the 4th.
By the time Thursdays roll around I end up being really homesick and I'm dreading how homesick I'm going to be in London.
