Have a Wonderful Weekend

Weekends are for family, so what are your plans for this weekend?


It’s late fall, but I am still thinking of our summer adventures. The irony is, summer is my least favorite season, but with two children, it has become so much more fun.


Having a daughter with severe motion sickness restricted us to the boroughs so here are a few of our summer adventures in NYC.


Trekking to the Staten Island Zoo on the Staten Island Ferry.

If you haven’t been, it’s worth it. It has its own aura that feels peaceful and truly family oriented.


Child playing at Brooklyn Children's Museum

Brooklyn Children’s Museum. One of my daughters’ favorite places to go all year round.

A visit to Coney Island.


Two girls sitting on a carnival ride

She went on almost every ride at Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park. For a kid with severe car sickness, I was amazed how excited she was to try almost every ride.

A ferry ride to dumbo that included ice cream from Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory and a not so successful attempt to get on Jane’s Carousel—it was a royal shit show.


Little girl at Yankees Stadium

Our first baseball game at Yankee Stadium.

The Medieval Festival at Fort Tyron Park with a visit to The Met Cloisters.


Two kids running in the rain with coats

And the most frequent of all, visits to our neighborhood park almost every day, rain or shine.

I miss summer as we plan for a more relatively chill weekend. It’s looking like a museum kind of day tomorrow with a visit to Nana’s house on Sunday.


What did your summer look like?
