Spring Break in Atlanta
Schools had spring break the past 1-2-3 weeks. What did you do? I went to Mexico to visit my egg donor’s family. I had a connection flight from LGA to ATL then finally to BJX (Mexico). I have some pictures from the airport in Atlanta.
Tick Tock Diner NY
The Tick Tock diner in Manhattan is very good. I mean, I love it! The address is 481 8th Avenue. Great place for a brunch, and it has a lot of idioms related to time on the walls, like these.
The menu has pancakes, waffles, beverages, French toast, bacon, bacon egg and cheese, bagels, and the waiters and waitresses are very nice. When I was there with my sister Emma and a few other people, Emma did not want to go so the waiter was very kind and helped us instead of doing something else.
The moral of the article is… Eat at Tick Tock!

The witches
by Roald Dahl
On a scale of 1 to 20, 1 is not scary at all and 20 is super scary, I would give this book a 5 and a half. Super fun(ny)!

Art in Brooklyn
The past 3-4 weeks there has been some art in Brooklyn near Brooklyn Heights. Basically people living in shelters write their diaries. I took 2 pictures:
App of the Week
Mad Libs app: If you know the mad libs books, you know the app. Basically they are the same thing. If Mr. Phil N The Blanks tells you to do a noun, you write a noun in the blank.
Download the app for iPhone or Andriod here: https://madlibs.com/apps/
My friend John also used Claude Code to create my very own mad lib app. Give it a try below!
DTFK (Day Trips For Kids)
Coney Island is definitely a great place to be in the summer. Also spring and fall, but I would not recommend going there when it is cold. There is cotton candy, one or two amusement parks, fun games where you can win prizes, Nathan’s hot dog shop, a beach with the ocean connected to it, and the aquarium* (I went there on a field trip once, I was unlucky it was in February).
*the only one in NYC!
Travel
I went to Florida on the weekend of March 7-8 and the airplane ride was very boring. Here are a few things you can do to make your trip entertaining
Download books on your phone or iPad on either Libby or Kindle
If you are on Delta, there is a WiFi that you can use
Take a nap
Watch a movie (Aladdin, Cinderella might be good for kids and you can also do Girls Will Be Girls and Slow Horses for grownups)
Look at a map
I’m in Florida because my grandma lives there. When you go places, do you go there to visit friends and family, or just because it maybe has nice weather and there is a famous building there, like Mt. Rushmore or The Eiffel Tower?
The Big Debate!
Death Valley in California or Dome Fuji Ridge in Antarctica?
(Basically warm or cold but I wanted to make it more interesting, you know?)
