happy birthday to me (day five, and six)

We had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, and then we picked up some picnic supplies and settled in at the brand new Brooklyn Bridge Park. It was beautiful.






But, first, of course - how could I forget - we rode the TRAIN, Rosemary's second favorite thing about new york (tied with the fountains and the pigeons, and second only to aunt and uncle walker):




But, back to the park:





And then we walked across the bridge into Manhattan and took the train home as it started to rain.


At home we ate some delicious pound cake and played Settlers of Catan while Rosie napped. They let me win. And I finished my book. We ate dinner at Roebling Tea Room. And went home and watched Glee.




This was my best day in New York.

On Wednesday Jack and I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art while Katie and Elliott babysat for us. We loved the Met and would like to go back again and again. Our flight back to Seattle was delayed, and we were at the airport and on the plane for far too long, arriving at sea-tac around 3 am. But let's not talk about that.

What a great vacation.
