I just came back to C'ville after a wonderful weekend spent in New York City! From early Friday to late Sunday I spent time in the city with a family of 4. We took a trip to the Museum of Natural History, baked 'dino' cookies, watched Ice Age, and made our way through the Bronx Zoo.
I had never stayed in a real apartment in the city.... only hotels and college dorm rooms. It was so fun to recognize the doorman, take the elevator up to the apartment, and play trains in a playroom that had a view of NYC down below.
Saturday afternoon was pretty stormy. After walking around rooms of dinosaur skeletons we headed back to the apartment to watch Ice Age.... there was a bit of a theme going on! During the boys rest time I had the chance to step out and walk around the city. It was such fun to walk by my old dorm, say hello to the bagel men I became close to this summer, and even grab a little treat at Dylan's Candy Bar. I even surprised Lansing with a bag of candy!
We woke up to sun and warm weather on Sunday and thought it was the perfect day to go to the Bronx Zoo! I was so excited because I had never been before and had heard wonderful, wonderful things. We hopped in their car (how fun not taking taxis, but a REAL, personal car) and headed to the Bronx.
Once we parked we headed straight to the Children's Zoo. It was so manageable and had great exhibits.... how fun is the tunnel that leads right to the prairie dogs!
The boys loved the petting zoo. With a few quarters the children can buy animal food and stay entertained feeding the goats, lamas, and other petting zoo animals.
We all made a new friend....
Have a Marvelous Monday...and check back soon!
