new york x 2


We had such a busy week last week! We went to NY twice and (Dave) spent a lot of time in our backyard prepping our garden. The first trip was to the Woodbury outlets in NY. Those outlets are insane! Dave loves to go and Elinor and I usually come to just check out the Disney store and play on the playground. What a great idea for a playground to be there?? Dave was able to run around and check out everything he wanted while Elinor and I played. As soon as we got home that night, we realized the Fred Perry sample sale was going on in NYC. So a day later we headed back. We also got to check out the Ghostbusters 30th anniversary art gallery. Dave might have bought a couple of prints. Elinor was nervous of Slimer but loved any ghost she saw.
I've said it before but we love the fact that there is a playground on just about every block in NYC. I always feel bad dragging Elinor around and not letting her have run around crazy play time. Especially after taking two long car rides in one week. She was such a trooper. She was even so well behaved while we went out to eat at Red Bamboo. Sometimes there can be people in there that do not appreciate kids. It probably helped that she was also promised pink ice cream if she ate her meal and didn't run around.

The Ghostbusters gallery was right down the street from the actual firehouse from the movie. Neither of us had ever seen it so we walked over. There weren't many people around so I did a baby grasshopper pose.

The gallery is traveling and still had stops in LA, Chicago and San Diego. Check it out if you are near by. We will be in Chicago when it is there and are planning to go again.

  1. So sad we missed this event in New York! But gives us a great excuse to figure out how to get to Comic-Con this year. Do they sponsor parenting bloggers??? :) Looks like you had so much fun.

    1. It is so easy to take a day trip now living in Philly. We used to do it every once in awhile living in Boston and it was such a big adventure.
