Evan had a Zenfolio Zoom meeting in New York, so Angie and Jake decided to tag along. We all had a really great time!
Jake did so well on both of the flights!
The view from Evan's Uncle Bruce's apartment!
Fearless Jake was unfazed by the height (47th floor!):
Playtime with Auntie Keiko:
The new world trade tower (the tall one):
On our first day in the city, we met up with our dear friend Matt! He showed us around all of the best (and yummiest) places in Brooklyn!
The Brooklyn bridge:
Jake's new tiger all the way from Princeton. Thanks, Matt!
At our first stop (a French bakery), we had an eclair, a meringue, an apricot pastry and a raspberry tart (for Jake) (don't worry, we all shared :)
We made it our mission to find as many slides as possible! (video):
Later that day we met up with Evan's other Uncle, Barry and family.
Jake showing off his mad dancing skills! (video)
The following morning we all went to the terrific farmers' market!
Have we mentioned that Jake likes raspberries?
He ate almost all of them!
We had an absolutely delicious brunch, and Jake practised his colouring skills:
... and then we headed out to the Highline Park, which used to be an old railway line through the city!
The story...
Oooooooh, splash time!
(video)
Very cool!
On Saturday afternoon, we went to Central Park to watch Evan's cousin play soccer.
Snack time:
"Weeeeeeee!" (video)
On Sunday morning, we went back to the park to do some more exploring...
We rowed boats on a lake!
There was a guy making humongous bubbles!
We met up with another of our friends from Berkeley, Ben!!
No kiddie trip to New York is complete without a visit to F.A.O. Schwarz!
On our last day, we had an eventful excursion to the Brooklyn transit museum. Unfortunately, the museum is closed on Mondays, so we walked all the way through the city to Prospect Park.
Stopping for a much needed coffee:
Jake put his cranky pants on...
The Brooklyn Zoo was next to the park, so we had a look around:
We made it just in time to watch them feed the sea lions! (video):
The gopher exhibit:
A big thanks to everyone who helped make this trip so fun!
