AN AFTERNOON AT THE HIGH LINE

Over the weekend we finally crossed over to to the west side and took Lucas to visit The High Line. I don’t know why we waited so long. Sure it’s a bit touristy and crowded but there’s a good reason for it. The views are spectacular and it’s filled with exciting nooks and grassy areas perfect for toddler exploring. We started off at 28th St. and made our way down to the meat packing district. Somewhere along the walk Lucas started to become extra hyper and I knew it was time for a nap. We were lucky enough to find two empty chaises. The shoes came off and we made ourselves right at home. Within minutes I had a drooling baby on my chest. My city boy can pretty much fall asleep anywhere, anytime. There must be something soothing about all that city noise! Definite highlights were our passion fruit paletas and the water fountain which entertained Lucas for about twenty whole minutes. Looks like we found ourselves a new summer stomping ground.

A rainy walk was in order for this duo (Lucas loves the rain..well, holding his umbrella ;). Off we went to visit my girlfriend who lives in the neighborhood for our first Shabbat dinner! We stopped at the local bodega to pick out flowers as we wanted to be gracious guests. Lucas actually made the final choice and selected gorgeous peonies. Our host loved them – good choice, baby! We had a fabulous dinner and Lucas received quite a few compliments on his adorable, comfy attire. I think I might be sporting the sweat suit look this weekend. Are toddlers the only ones who can get away with this look? I think if I look as cute as Lucas I’ll take my chances.
