I have fond memories of going downtown when my sister and I were kids to meet my Dad for lunch. I remember getting hot dogs from a street vendor and playing near some fountains downtown. Who knows how long I will be staying home with Theo but, for now, I’d like to try and take trips into the city with Theo to visit Jay as much as we can. It’s a lot easier now that Theo is more independent and we have a lightweight umbrella stroller. Theo hops out and walks down the stairs holding onto the railing while I slowly walk down with the stroller folded up and over my shoulder. He holds my hand while we wait for the train and he loves to walk onto the train car with Mama in tow. Jay works near Chelsea Piers so there are lots of kid friendly things to do: a carrousel, a skatepark, The High line Park is right there, and there are plenty of food options.
Of course, the carrousel was closed for some odd reason. It might have been the huge storm that was a brewin’.
Theo and I also visited the Union Square playground early that morning to meet a friend who lives nearby with her daughter. I didn’t capture it but it’s a pretty cool playground with unique equipment and a sandbox. Honestly it was so freakin’ humid I think we both needed to blow out of there.
