NYC Travel Photography: A Stroll to the Park

Not too long ago, the boys and I headed to one of my favorite playgrounds in Central Park, right off of 67th and 5th Avenue. We walked past all the energy and excitement often found along Fifth Avenue…even past some overly excited tourists taking pictures of a man being arrested (oh the excitement of it all!), and past the famous Plaza Hotel, and fairly new Apple Store and FAO Schwarz Toy Store and more.

Hope you enjoy their afternoon in pictures!

    That's awesome. I get really nervous in big cities(small town boy here). That doesn't mean I can't appreciate it though.

    Thanks Latina!

    Jason: Yeah, when we first moved back from WI the little ones…no, actually, even the older one, were all a little careless. It took some training…now, they are pros (pretty much)!

    I occasionally (often) envy those who live in NY and have all that culture available within blocks.

    Those of us living in the sticks (Houston) get recycled broadway and apple stores stuck in malls.

    But we have yards. Even if they do flood.

    Whining. I'm whining. Sorry.

    Lovely photos.

    The southern area of central park is great for just walking around and looking at scenery (or toy stores) but the prices for even a bottle of water are a rip off. Just bring your own food to have a picnic and it's a great place.

NEW, on THE BLOG: Picturesque Drives in Finger Lak NEW, on THE BLOG: Picturesque Drives in Finger Lakes, NY. One thing about me is that I like to view a lot of the places I both travel to and live in with curiosity, taking absolutely nothing for granted because I have found that the moment you do, you miss seeing the beautiful things. The every day, normal things that just happen and exist and make where you are a little more special. And I don’t want to miss a thing. It’s why I’ve spent hours and hours and hours and years and years just driving around Finger Lakes. Well, mostly @travisjcain drives so I can tell him where to stop every two miles for a farm stand, or gift shop, or water view, or trail we haven’t explored yet (he is so patient with me! 🤣). All that driving has gifted us with a lot of sunsets, hidden beauties, delicious finds, and most scenic views, many of which I shared on my blog (Yes! My blog linked in bio!), so check it out! I didn’t share ALL my favorite drives. Some are special because they are so hidden, but if inspired by my post and visiting the area, maybe you might just find them yourselves too. Thanks for reading! . . . . #myflx #fingerlakes #roadtrips #nygetaway #scenicdrives #nylovesfall
It was #nationalsonsday yesterday and though that’s everyday to me, I will take any moment - albeit a bit late - to publicly brag about them. They are funny, smart, kind, and sometimes annoying AF too. But my life is so full with them in it. I love being the mom of boys, of these boys. It is so absolutely perfect and even when it isn’t, which is a lot, it still just fits. I love my life as their mom. I am so proud of my guys. Words can’t describe the love.
Not too long ago, and as part of my partnership wi Not too long ago, and as part of my partnership with @VisitIthaca, I ventured to do a “cider hop” to check out a few of the cider houses around the area, all of which are participating in next month’s @ciderweekflx. New York State is second only to Washington State in its Apple growth but New York dominates the cider world. From hard cider to alcohol free cider and everything in between, we’ve tasted it all and after all my hard work, I am here to report that you need to get you some. So check out my latest stories (also my Ithaca highlights) and see what are not miss places - and even a bit of cider history along the way! And if you are in the Finger Lakes area from Oct 2-11, make sure to check out the cider week FLX website for virtual tastings, farm stands, and more. Cheers! . . . #ciderweekflx #fingerlakes #visitithaca #roadtrip #flxfall #ciderlover #nylovesfall
Real talk: During the pandemic and working so clos Real talk: During the pandemic and working so closely next to my husband every day I have come to realize that his chewing noises can really grind at my nerves. I also don’t like that he bites his nails sometimes when he’s really focused. And he has too many meetings. Like constantly - which is insanity to me. But I adore this man. I adore him because whatever it is about me that annoys him, he hasn’t said. When I have a project that requires my driving miles and miles for content, he comes along and helps me curate it. He is an amazing listener and a really good friend. And encouraging and supportive about my ambitions and goals. There are so many things about being a business owner, a mother, a creative, a human being during a pandemic as your country feels like it’s falling apart around you. But through it all I am grateful for this guy and so happy to be going through these crazy times with him by my side. Even when he chews chips loudly next to me.
Can’t do too much but go on car rides while we q Can’t do too much but go on car rides while we quarantine after our visit to VA (more on that soon). But when I get a bit antsy and with the fall colors in full burst right now, which is really so sudden, those rides are soothing to my soul. As fall takes over and the holidays approach, I start longing more and more for people. Just the random meet ups for coffee or lunch. I miss planning get togethers, one of which is our annual Friendsgiving. And I miss just smiling at people - though I’ve mastered the smiling with my eyes. I miss brunches and dinners and late night gatherings anywhere fun. In the meantime, we have car rides and these views. And one day, maybe the warmth of friends to join us. . . . #fingerlakes #myflx #nylovesfall #autumn #flxfall
So today’s sunset was pretty stunning. Again. Tr So today’s sunset was pretty stunning. Again. Travis and I go for drives. Long, winding drives, often without the boys who prefer to stay home and do their own thing. We talk, laugh, sometimes just sit in silence. And we stop to take photos. But overall, it’s a chance for us to breathe and chill out cause the world feels insane and we along with it sometimes. But there are always these sunsets. And on a good day, on a healthy day, we will take the time to slow down and see it. . . . #myflx #fingerlakes #winecountry #countryliving #vineyardhouse #nylovesfall
