Our Manhattan vacation, Day 5: M. turns 16!

Wednesday, July 25, 2007: M.'s 16th birthday was one New York minute after another. In the morning, the boys took off to play catch in Central Park and go to a Mets game. (The Mets beat the Pirates 6-3.) The girls spent most of the day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, seeing great works such as those above by Klimt and Mogdiliani, then walked 3 miles around Central Park, pausing to watch some terrific street dancers with "sweet moves," as M. put it. We had dinner at an elegant ristorante where the waiters sang to M. Then the girls went out and got groceries and hauled them back and put them away. The boys then arrived, and ate all the groceries.
