we will have his daughter that wknd (Sat) 9/23 and she is 12 1/2 and so bad about "whats in it for me" that I cant even give him his b-day gift in front of her because she carries on that she didnt get anything.

He family really stinks and they dont celebrate b-days, and mine is going to be out of town so we are celebrating his b-day the following week.

So, he wants to go into NYC and go to a museum and out to dinner, I'm thinking of Belmont racetrack for the day and go to a nice italian restaurant for dinner.

Any suggestions would really be appreciated. I want to try and make the most of his b-day.
