An afternoon in Long Island City

  

Another wonderful sunny afternoon in New York calls for another adventure for me and my little guy.

New York Aquarium

The New York Aquarium can be found at the end of the boardwalk at Coney Island, so if you want to take a break from all the craziness you should call in to learn a thing or two about marine conservation.

Coney Island Baby!

My little guy always gets so excited when I suggest visiting Coney Island, he loves the rides, the treats, the sand and the sea! I love it too as its so easy to reach at the end of the F subway line.

A day in the Museum!

Last week we were in desperate need for some time out of the New York heat, so we headed for a day at the American Museum of Natural History.

Longing to spend longer at Long Beach

Hailing from England the land of unpredictable summer weather, means we love planning weekend trips to the beach in New York’s guaranteed sunshine. And honestly the sea breeze and being able to take a dip in the sea is a welcome break from the city heat.

Washington Square Park – Fun at the fountain!

Ever since I heard you could jump in the iconic fountain at Washington Square Park I’d been waiting for a day hot enough to justify a visit to dip my toes in the water. 

Summer Streets

Ifyou been following the blog, you’ll know we recently became a family of scooter enthusiasts. So imagine our delight when we heard they were closing off seven miles of Manhattan streets to motor vehicles and opening it up for New Yorkers to play, run, walk and bike.

New York Botanical Gardens - with kids!

You wouldn’t necessarily describe your average visitor to a Victorian garden known for it's beauty and tranquillity as an adventurous four-year old boy, but earlier this week I took B to the New York Botanical Gardens and he loved it.

Sunday Scoot around Brooklyn Bridge Park

We love the weekends as we have Daddy to join us on our New York adventures!

Imagination Station

B and I are on a mission to try out as many of NYC’s playgrounds as we can while summer is still here (and before my play date starts school, sob).  

A Central Park hang with my dude

 I’m becoming very aware that my days of hanging out with my number one dude are becoming very limited as he starts Pre-K next month. So when the sun came back out after a couple of cloudy, drizzly days we got up early and headed for Central Park.
