a walk in the park

I have found the most enchanting nature walk by my house.  It is goes around a lake, through a forest, over some beautiful bridges, by a really neat/interesting Asian-looking tree park, around Wellesley College with its cool architecture, past wildlife (swans, cool birds, and some cute dogs along the way)... and I really think it's one of my new favorite places. 

I actually did the 2.5 mile trail twice just so I could grab my camera and take pictures the second time around.

hello, new york

For our 5-year, Mr. Rob and I went to NYC.  It was pretty amazing.  I can't find the cord to the other camera that we mostly used, but here's a few pictures.  I'll post more soon... hopefully.

Time Square in the pm.  What an interesting place.

We saw the Addams Family on Broadway.  I think the reason we chose to see this, not knowing a thing about it, is that a.) we both watched Addams Family as kids, and b.) Brooke Shields was Morticia.  Despite our lack of knowledge, it turned out to be a good choice and fun to watch.

We knew someone who was staying at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and they invited us over for breakfast one morning.  The food was good, but the view was amazing!  We didn't make it to the Empire State Building for the city views this trip, but I felt okay about it since we got to experience this.
