Me and My Dad

I'll admit I'm a daddy's girl. I have been one forever. For those of you have known me a while, you may heard the many "me and my dad" are doing this or "me and my dad" are doing that. Despite the frequent attempts of my mother to change my grammar, one thing has always remained and that is "me and my dad"

Me and my dad have done a million things together. Me and my dad used to go and get ice cream on school nights, me and my dad played soccer together, me and my dad went on a tour of Boston, My senior year of high school, me and my dad went on a tour of Cote D'Ivoire and now I have one more thing to add to my list of me and my dad things....me and my dad toured Kolkata!

On this way home from Indonesia to the states for the summer, my dad spent a few days with me in Kolkata. We toured the city from sun up to sun down. From the craft museums to Science City we saw it all. Then to replenish our souls after a long day we kicked back for the evening with a couple of kingfishers and some good conversation.

Unforturnately my dad is not as internet saavy as I am and so he booked himself into a less then stellar hotel. The place was pretty much creeptastic but for 25 bucks a night I guess we got what we paid for. At least there was an air conditioner. And we were so tired by the end of the day's adventures that we both fell asleep instantly.

Oh in 24+ years, me and my dad have done some amzing things together...but I don't think any of those will compare to our Kolkata adventure.

Oh Erin,

Daddy is home now and we've been talking non-stop about your Kolkata adventures. What a fabulous trip he had and a very precious time together with you. We just had some pictures developed and will take them to Kathleen in New York next week. What a time you are having. Enjoy each minute of it.
Love you..... Mom
