Dad's Birthday Weekend!

Since it's Dad's birthday on Monday, we decided to celebrate it on Saturday in stead. We went into the city and ate at one of his favorite restaurants, La Goulue, an authentic French bistro. Dad had his steak and frites and I actually ate a big bowl of steamed veggies. It was actually really good! Then it was on to the Central Park Zoo. It was pretty cool, but kinda small. Hopefully, we will get to go to the Bronx Zoo sometime this summer. 
The coolest animal at the CPZ was the Red Panda. It was so cute, but seemed like he was really hot. 
Check out Dad and I sitting inside a turtle egg!
I loved getting to pet the big black and white cow!
After the Zoo, I was sacked out, so Mom and Dad decided to walk through Central Park and then on to Times Square. They happened upon a street fair that ran all the way down 7th. There were all kinds of street vendors (Mimi and Liz, there were rows and rows of purses and pashminas. You would have LOVED it. Mommy sure did!) After a short subway ride to Max Brenner's for a chocolate fix and banana split latte, it was time to head back home on Metro North. What a fun birthday celebration!
