A great fall weekend

I haven't posted in awhile, but I thought that I should post about how much Nina and I are loving New York in the fall!

This past weekend was fantastic. The highs have been in the upper 60s and low 70s. On Saturday, we spent time at an outdoor far on Broadway. There was food (gyros, falafel, fried dough), some clowns that made balloon figures for Nina, and a great variety of people for people watching! Sunday morning we made our way to Queens for church, which takes up the morning and then in the evening we got take out from a soul food place, Rack and Soul. It was delicious! Even our mostly vegetarian, Nina, gobbled the bbq pulled pork!

Today, Nick was back to classes and events, so Nina and I were on our own for activities. We decided to head to Central Park, which means a train ride. We got off at 72nd and made our way to a small drug store where they have a great little Bob the Builder ride for kids. Nina got to ride it today and was thrilled. We then walked to Central Park and made our way to the carousel. Nina loved riding it so much, that we ended up going twice! It was the fastest carousel I've ever been on! After the carousel, we walked to the east side and went into FAO Schwartz. Nina was amazed at the giant stuffed animals...all bigger than her! She really enjoyed the huge piano on the second floor (from the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks). By the time we were done there, it was time to head home for lunch and nap.

So, as you can see, we are definitely enjoying our time in NYC! We'll be posting more pictures soon.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying their fall.
