NY Visit with Jen

this was in Brooklyn, i thought it was cool as we drove

this was a cool public library

this looked cool too with the fog

the fog was sooo thick

this was in China town on Canal street

i dont think i could eat at something like this- i got a hot dog with dan when we saw Phantom of the Opera, and i cringe when i think of that....SOOO bad..

i had to take a picture of this- (from Seinfeld)

they just put their garbage out on the curb, tons of tons of it...

for you Mary- bike lights!

this was Central Park.  and the fog looked cool.

the museum of natural history. i haven't been yet, and i am not sure if we'll get there. anybody know if its a must see?

in nyc ? i had no idea. they honk all the time.

Driving thru Central Park

cool bridge in Central Park, they have bridges like this all over in NJ and NY

i don't watch this, but we got a picture anyways

andrew loved that spiderman thing- in Times Square

Times Square

times square...

this bagel place was SOOO good. YUMMMM.

in the subway

here's the train! it scared andrew a bit.

9/11 Memorial

the new World Trade Center, it still has like 15 or 20 stories to go

Rickshaw's!

here at central park!

playing in Central Park

This was all in Central Park

we borrowed my friends footboard for the stroller, it was very handy!!

i think this is so cute.

the temple in Manhattan!

leaving the city, this is on the freeway going to NJ

this is what a lot of NJ looks like, small hills and TONS of trees. i LOVE the trees and the green. im trying to soak up as much as i can while i am here.

this is one of jens favorite places to eat- it was very good!!

the sun looked really cool setting!

this was at Ellis Island

i like this family picture:)

Soooo tired. she is SUCH a sweet baby. can't get enough of her!

and she is out!

i love this one, cute picture.

there it is! i love this one! SOOO cute.

hmmm...what to do now...

the NJ 9/11 memorial. inside there are inscriptions of the residents of NJ who died.

this is by where we live, it is so pretty!

Fire Island beach, apparently in the summer people swim here. didnt know that when we came before. it was SOOO crowded. my pictures have random people far more than i had hoped.

yay! the beach! it took us almost 4 hours to get here, due to a lot of driving around, and it was SOO welcome for the kids to run.

that bone skinny kid is in SO many of my pictures. Ugh.

anybody know how to photoshop him out?

what a cute little tiny girl!

i LOVE this one

last time she cried when andrew touched the waves, this time she got so brave and actually played a little in the water.

he was sort of in a time out here, he kept going further and further into the water. i didnt want him trying to swim- 1 it was SUNDAY, and 2, i wasn't swimming. we just brought their suits because last time they got soaking wet in their clothes. i didnt want him going past his shins/knees....

nothin cuter than a beach baby. a chubby beach baby.

she just LOVED the sand

they had a great time building these tunnels

heading home....

driving thru Midtown Tunnel.

In the Lincoln Tunnel.

And that what our trip to NYC. Jen flew i n for the weekend. We started out with breakfast at Ihop. now it seems like a blur... after that i think we parked and walked around time square, central park... we saw the temple, and did a lot of walking. the next day we did the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. that took a good part of the day. then we stopped at Boston Market and came home. Sunday we drove out to Long Island. We first went to Sand Point Preserve, it wasn't quite what we thought it would be though, so it took us a LONG time to get to Fire Island. but the kids got out, ran around and we had a nice time sitting on the beach with them. i love hearing the waves, and watching them crash. and watching the kids play in the sand. we had a great time with jen and wished she didnt have to leave so soon!
