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.

Today is the day we drop off our youngest, @liamca Today is the day we drop off our youngest, @liamcain._, at college. While it is an exciting period of change for all of us, it feels surreal. There was a time this moment felt so, so far away….and yet, now, it feels like it came so quickly. And  while I am thrilled for him, and for us, I am also sad. So much to process. 

Wishing my “baby” boy all the luck. ❤️

Is a day enough to really experience Massachusetts Is a day enough to really experience Massachusetts’ Berkshire County? Not even close. But if you needed a quick little fix of mountain air, a day trip will do. 

Here were my stops on this 24 hour jaunt to the Berkshires:

📍Coffee and a morning bite at @wanderberkshires in Pittsfield, MA
📍@themountlenox author Edith Wharton’s home, for forest strolling, sculpture and flower garden admiring, and summer cottage touring - and for a light lunch in Lenox, MA. 
📍Mount Greylock for a drive up to Massachusetts’ highest point (at 3,489 feet) and some epic views.
📍Dinner and drinks at @touristswelcome in North Adams. 
📍Sunset views from Pontoosuc Lake near Pittsfield, MA.

Sunday mood is all about recentering, refocusing, Sunday mood is all about recentering, refocusing, and protecting your peace. It’s alright to care, stay informed, get involved AND still carve out moments for self care, however that looks like for you. ❤️
Summer isn’t complete without a visit to @spotte Summer isn’t complete without a visit to @spotted_duck_flx in Penn Yan, NY. 

Here you can get frozen custard made from duck eggs, and they also have some dairy free options which are lovely as well. 

It can get busy, especially since being named the best ice cream in New York State, so expect long lines during high tourist seasons. But you can also get lucky, as we did, and experience a mellow visit surrounded by cute ducks and chickens and the serenity of farm country living. 

Worth the visit either way.
