Three states, lots of music, and some really good eats. Yesterday didn't go as planned. My trip to NYC didn't find me and my daughter at the studio in Manhattan to experience a plug-in seminar, but rather in Hoboken, New Jersey waiting in line at Carlo's Bakery for 2.75 hours! Yep, that's right! We arrived in line at 4:30 PM. We walked out of the world famous bakery at 6:45 PM. After a 2 1/2 hour drive, standing on the sidewalks of Hoboken, and fighting the crowd once inside the bakery, we were pretty tired, and definitely hungry! There was  a battle waged inside my head and heart over getting to NYC late, paying the $40.00 to park in the city, and catching what was left of the audio software event; or grabbing a cool dinner with my kid, and heading home to share the delights purchased at the bakery of Cake Boss fame.

It took me a minute, but I opted for dinner with my kid! She used to "hate" Indian food, but not anymore! Yum, yum...Butter Chicken, Tandoori, and Naan...mmm mmm good!

• Driving 215 miles - $40.00 for gas
• Tolls - $15.00
• Carlo's Pastries to share with friends and family - $80.00
• Watching my kid enjoy Indian food for the first time - Priceless!

Until next time,
