Seaglass Carousel- A Summer Favorite!

The seagrass carousel is a favorite in the summer and I'm so glad we all made it again this year. It has been a while since we've been here. Noah is getting older and I through he wouldn't want to ride it but he did. He remembers all the times he rode it when he was little. I sure miss those days of riding it with him but he's too big to sit on my lap! LOL! Totally was nostalgic for me. I love this little gem in the city and will continue to come and ride. Because we're never too old to feel like a little kid again and pretend we are under the sea! 

Seaglass Carousel!

When we venture out to the city we tend to do more than one thing and drive to more places than we should. No wonder we are exhausted when we come home! If we lived in the city I know things would be different and we most likely wouldn't be galavanting all over the city in one day. (Yes we would) LOL! Anyway, the day we went to Riverside park was the day the Seaglass Carousel opened up and you better believe we went. I think Jon was the most excited to ride because he's hardly ever with us when we go to the city. This is definitley one of our favorite carousels in the city to go to and we can ride it all day! So relaxing and the background music is enchanting. 

Downtown Day Out In The City...

Keeping the kids active throughout the summer months is important to me and even though we can find things to do close to home there's something about the city that gives us the energy to live, and never grow weary of the surroundings that this wonderful city has to offer. The kids love it every time I mention going to New York, and when I ask if they'd like to go they do not hesitate to say yes! Especially Noah!

One of my friends asked me the other day that I might as well move to New York since my family and I frequent there often. Although I love the city and can imagine myself living there with a family the desire to live there just isn't in me. I love that we live smack in the middle of Jersey where we have the city close enough to take advantage of the good, but we skip the inconvenience of living in it.  

Seaglass Carousel & A Day Out in NYC.

Day four of our spring break was spent in new york city again. I am so grateful that we live so close to a city where we can explore and venture out when time permits, and because Jon, and the kids have had all week off for spring break have taken advantage of the time going to the city as a family! This time we decided to drive to Staten island and take the ferry over to the city, and it was a dream for Noah! He absolutely loves boats, and was so excited to be standing against the railing to see the city. I'm not sure he remembers the first time we took the ferry to Ellis island, but he will definitely remember this ride.
