Okay, so this is a picture of Grammy in Tiffany and Rob's new studio...WHICH IS THREE FLOORS ABOVE US. So now when Grammy comes to visit her girls, she gets 4 of her girls under one roof!
Day One we decided to visit the New York Aquarium and Coney Island.
Tiffany took these pictures of these amazing sea creatures!
I love that I am able to "do life" with my sister now.
It got a little chilly on the water!
she just can not resist
We devoured hot dogs on the boardwalk!
Then we let the girls choose a ride!
I assumed a day on the beach would be horribly hot and before we left North Brooklyn (where it WAS hot) I told the girls we would definitely get an ice cream cone on the boardwalk. Then we ate the messiest ice cream cones we've ever had on a cold, windy beach. We laughed all day.
Pumpkin Update: we planted more seeds, added a grid of string on top, they sprouted, and now they are growing very well! Take that BIRDS.
We had an awesome meal at Brooklyn Star!
Day Two we spent in Manhattan at The Met.
Right outside The Met in Central Park is an "ancient playground" that was pretty neat!
Then we ate lunch with mom's friend Sheryl!
Dinner was on the rooftop!
Day Three we had soccer practice and a day on Governor's Island!
Grammy got to join in on the soccer fun!
We need to give Governors Island a second chance one day. The day we went should have been perfect: there was a participatory art festival happening, it was a sunny day, we were with family.....HAHA! Audrey decided that she was NOT going to use port-a-pots. The sun was EXTREME. We witnessed the biggest face plant ever by a woman who was probably in the same boat as Audrey: HOT and desperately looking for a real potty. After we realized that the map was most likely not accurate, we enjoyed the best lunch and drink in the shade. Once again, we ended the trip with melting ice cream and lots of laughs!
Thank you Grammy and Poppy for watching the girls and giving us a date night! We went to Oregano and ate yummy wood-fired pizza.
As always, it was hard to say goodbye.
