A quick trip to the Met

Cohen and I finally made the trek across the park to go to the Met! (we went to three playgrounds the same day...it was a busy day) I didn't know how Cohen would like it, but I was so surprised when he totally got into it. He LOVED the armor exhibit and walking around looking at all the statues. We only saw a few exhibits so we will have to go back soon.

Playing in the fountain at AMNH!

My friend Liz invited me and Cohen to meet her at the fountain at AMNH today to enjoy the water and the beautiful weather! There have been several play dates there in the past few months, but I have never made it because we have been out of town. It was so excited to finally see what all the fuss is about. Cohen and I both LOVED it! Cohen was fascinated with throwing his blue bucket into the water jet and watching it fly up. :) Good friends, good weather, and water fun makes one great afternoon!

Grandpa A. Visit May 2017: New York Transit Museum

Last week, Cohen and I went with our Joy School friends to the New York Transit Museum. Cohen LOVED it and didn't want to the leave. The only way he would leave is if I promised to bring him back with Grandpa A when he got here. He was quite upset when Grandpa A showed up and we didn't go right away, but we were able to squeeze it in on Grandpa's last day.

It's a really small museum, but they really do have some amazing things packed in there. Cohen's favorite part is going downstairs and running through all the old fashioned subway cars.

Washington DC Trip: Cherry Blossoms(?), Museums, and Monuments

On our only full day in DC, we spent most of the day at the Mall. We walked over to the Tidal Basin to see where the bulk of the cherry blossoms were supposed to be. :) I did get a picture of a couple blossoms! Cohen loved seeing the monuments on our way to the museums.

We decided to go to the National Air and Space Museum and the Museum of Natural History. Since the dinosaur exhibit was closed at the Museum of Natural History (sad day for Cohen) we didn't spend much time there. Cohen did love the fish tank that had Nemo, Marlin, and Dory in it. We had time so we walked to the Museum of American History, so I can see the First Lady exhibit :)

 

We then headed back to the hotel for a little rest before going to Central for dinner. It was a quick trip, but it was really fantastic. I'm so grateful we live so close so we can pop down every once in a while.

Thanks for coming for a visit Dad!

Life is still busy (always). Dad came for a little visit last weekend. We saw a couple of shows, ate out a lot, saw Avatar, and tried to keep dry. Poor Dad...he came on one of the rainiest weekends we have had in a long time. We still had fun! We were able to do almost everything he wanted to do. The Empire State Building was on the list, but since the weather was so lousy we decided not to go. Maybe next time Dad!


I'm taking it easy this weekend. After two weekends in a row of guest I found there was a lot for me to catch up on. Especially considering I'm going to Disneyland next week! Yes, that's right...I'm taking the six hour flight to the happiest place on earth! I'm going with Kari and two of my cousins. I'm super excited.

After that it's time to get down to business. There's a lot going on right now and I really need to concentrate on an assortment of kind of important things. I'll try to keep you updated.
