July 4th in New Jersey. Fantastic weather. Great food at Chaachu's place - Biriyani, Fish Fry, Goan Shrimp curry, Palak Paneer..Yummy.
But wait - there's a slide, swings, a sandbox, a trip to the beach, a jacuzzi full of bubbles and two cool didis!! Is this the perfect vacation or what?
It was pretty cool to see him jump into Chachu's arms with ease - like he's known him all his life. Jaydeep came to pick us up at the airport & next thing we knew, he was carrying Milind all over the airport, Milind all coy and hiding his face from Chachu, but firmly planted in Chachu's arms, nevertheless.
We've never seen Milind enjoy himself so much. He had two didis doting on him and a seemingly never-ending choice of toys. His favorite of the lot seemed to be the pink princess doll house & the cooking set :-O He'd go to bed after serving "capheee" and "chai" to everyone, smiling & babbling in bed about all the things he did that day. A stint in the Jacuzzi with lots of bubbles didn't hurt, either.
And after a day of playing hard, is there a more comfortable spot than Papa's shoulders? :)
All in all, a short but excellent trip. Looking forward to seeing the family again!
