IMG_2033Back in the day, whenever Chris & I would approach FDR Drive, we'd throw Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York!" into the CD player. I mean, it really is the only way to enter Manhattan (in my humble opinion). Talk about getting a trip off to the right start! 
IMG_2034Chris was tying up some work things and as soon as he was done,  we hit the Museum of Natural History and a playground just up the street so the kids could run around before the 3 hour drive home. We were in New York about 2 weeks ago, and while we hit the Museum of Natural History then, we also spent most of the time in Central Park. 
IMG_1828I miss city parks. They just can't be beat. Henry and Kate took turns guiding the sailboat: 
IMG_1843My girlfriend Trish brought us the most delicious donuts (because letting our family of 5 stay in her 1-bd apartment wasn't enough….) from Doughnut Plant that were supposed to be for our drive home, but they of course, never made it out of the park πŸ™‚IMG_1823Everytime I'm in New York, I want to move there. Then I think 'I'm about to have my 4th child! I'm too old to live in a rinky dink apartment with 4 kids'. But honestly, it sounds kind of tempting. Chris is moving there this summer while I take the children out west. Not sure where we'll all end up. Entirely too much for me to wrap my brain around at this point.
