~~Happy Birthday Becca~~

Becca and I went to The American Girl Place in New York City for her Birthday, #11. It was the perfect day in every way. We woke up and left in the morning about 9am. Traffic wasn't bad, which was nice. We drove into New Jersey to the NJ Transit and took a train into the city. We spent most of the day at the AGP, in fact I had to drag Becca out in the afternoon to walk around the city a bit. She would have been content in the AGP all day! It is paradise for girls who like American Girl dolls. She took her doll Samantha with her, and was able to get Samantha's hair done at the doll salon, which included a facial. Umm, yes, that is where they wash her face, LOL.

Becca had received money from Grandma Connie so she also got her picture taken for the front of her own American Girl Magazine, along with the hair salon and an outfit for Samantha. Then we wandered around the store, where you can see dolls, accessories, books, and more. Becca spent money that she had been saving on a new doll, Nellie. This was very exciting for her, and okay, I got caught up in the excitment, too!

We went to the Cafe for dinner, which was also wonderful. Because it was Becca's birthday we signed up for the party that included dinner, and a personal birthday cake plus goodie bags. everything about this place was high class, so while it was expensive at least it made you feel like the money was well spent!

After dinner we headed back to the train station for home and got home about 9:30pm.

What a perfect day, I know that we will both remember for a long time.

In the crazy crowds!
