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.

Day trip

On Monday we took a quick day trip in NYC. Dave had some things to do and like always Elinor and I went along for the ride. We have taken day trips there before from Boston. Usually on weekends and it would take an entire day, leaving early and getting back after bed time.

This time coming from Philly was so easy! Obviously it is closer but also being Columbus Day helped too. We hit zero traffic all day. When does that ever happen?! We were back home by 2  

We went shopping, ate and went to a playground. Last time we were there I realized playgrounds on just about every corner. We had no problem finding an awesome one to play at after lunch before we headed back home.
