Rhia's Trip to NCY on 10/16/10

We left very early Saturday morning - 5:30 AM - for the train station. We wanted to catch the 7 AM train to NYC. We got to the train station in plenty of time and waited for a while before we went up to the platform. You can see that Rhia was excited but tired at this hour!




When we got to the American Girl Place, we went to the restaurant where we had brunch. Rhia ordered quiche and salad from the menu and I had the same. When it arrived, she announced that she preferred her mother's quiche to what was served there.




Because it was Rhia's 9th birthday present, I had ordered a cake - forgetting that Rhia does not like cake! :-(




Rhia stated later that the best part of the entire day was getting her doll's hair done.



I must say that American Girl Place is amazing. EVERYONE we met at the store, from the waitresses to the hairdressers to the sales clerks were so very warm and friendly and very very kind to all the children in the store and especially to Rhia. After our time at American Girl, we visited the Toys R Us at Times Square. Rhia wanted to by candy for her siblings. We then went back to Penn Station and bought a magazine and a souvenir key chain and then took the train home.



Rhia's mother stated that Rhia had a blast. I am so very happy that she did.
