Summer in NYC

Bekah and I were so fortunate to be able to take a Mother and Daughter trip to New York City this summer. What a blessing to be able to spend this time together. We had so much fun. We shopped, saw Phantom of the Opera, we shopped, we went to a great, absolutely great concert in Central Park of some of Bekah's favorite artists, Expendables, Ziggy Marley and 311, we shopped (not sure I said that?), experienced dinner at Tavern on The Green, which was awesome... Bekah said and I quote "That this is the BEST food I've ever had" and walked, walked, and walked everywhere.
Oh, and we talked about boys, well, one in particular that she happens to be fond of right now and just met a couple weeks before we left for NYC. I remember those days... being on the phone at all hours, talking about everything, being excited and as Bekah so uniquely called it, being "all giggly inside."
Aww, young love, it is so special.
Bekah and I like so many of the same things, it is really cool. We really connect. The biggest difference between Bekah and I when I was her age is that she is so much more independent and says what she thinks and feels. Much more than I ever did at her age, probably more than I do now. I respect that strength and confidence in her.
I love this time we spent together and will cherish these memories forever.
