Snow Boots in the Sand Pile
The boys and I spent the morning at the Brooklyn Children's Museum --another attempt to make the trip kid friendly--and another free choice for us.
Jared joined us in the afternoon and we went to the bottom of Brooklyn by Coney Island. The Russian emigrants chose a great area for their gathering spot called "Brighton Beach." As soon as we found the subway stop there were Russian-speaking people and signs in Russian everywhere. We found a book store to browse, a market, some friendly people and a yummy cafe for dinner--all Russian style.
Michael Chasing the Birds
He loved seeing the pigeons everywhere in the city and the seagulls on the beach.
The playgrounds in NY are squeezed in between intersections, skyscrapers, streets, schools and here on the beach. The boys got to play on some neat ones.
One of the rare photos of me --with the apartment buildings behind the beach. I'm talking to Christi on the phone to arrange our departure for later that evening.
Goodbye NYC!!
We were so grateful to soak in some new places, people and experiences.
Now we head back home for more (low-key) adventures....

Very well done. i'm so glad that you appreciated the Russian neighborhood and the playgrounds squeezed into corners. I love that Michael was holding onto the stroller and staying close to you. and that you gave him time to draw with the other artists in the museum. Awesome way to see the town!
Wow! Sounds like a great trip.
nice trip- I have to say I am feeling a little under the weather right now, so I am tired already but reading what you did with two kids in NY for a week makes me feel even more tired!
incredible. you made a trip to NYC with kids seem easy. I love the way you saw so many places, just going going going. And all that during your first trimester.
