Summer, in the City

June is a great time to be in NYC . . .

You Can't Beat a Fresh Picked Strawberry

. . . especially of you pick strawberries with people you love.

Another reason we love living in NYC: Urban Camping

There are people (I won't name in any names), who think that you can't have a normal childhood in NYC. Of course, we love living here, and on top of the usual stuff that everyone knows about, we also have some secret NYC experiences that really make life here great. For example, Daddy and I went camping in Central Park last weekend. We showed up with sleeping bags and some bug spray, and the NYC Urban Park Rangers brought the rest. We pitched our own tent, we took long hikes through the wilderness (during the day and at night), and we studied the flora and fauna. We even survived a very rainy night.

Goin' Back to Cali

We just finished our annual cross-country excursion to California to visit friends. We stayed in the Bay Area this time visiting the Nash-Chen and Tye-Chang families in Noe Valley, the Lager family in Alameda, the Wu-Ma Clan in Emeryville, and the Alfano family in San Jose. Rachel dropped in on us at almost every stop. We also made a stop in Palo Alto to see Laurie for a tour of Mommy's old stomping grounds at Stanford and to see Amit and his new pad.
