Day trip to NYC!

We took an impromptu trip to the city on Saturday…Jon just suggested we go to the Museum of Natural History, and to lunch at one of our old favorites (Paparadella), so we did!  We drove in and met Ray and Liz, and went to lunch.  It was delicious, as always, but a slightly different experience than when we used to go as a couple before kids…a little less wine, a little more crying and whining and being generally unpleasant (Henry), and a little less time to savor the food, haha.  But it was good to be back in our old neighborhood.  Then we went to the museum, and the kids absolutely loved it…they loved seeing all of the animals, and of course the dinosaurs. They are both at really good ages for that, so it was nice.  And then we finished up with a walk in Central Park, and a visit to the old playground where we used to take Charlotte almost every day!  All in all, a nice little afternoon :)

Here are some pics...

Best seat in the house!

Attempting to take a family picture…seriously, no one ever told me how difficult it is to get family pics where everyone is looking in the right direction!

Poor Liz and Ray tried like 1,000 times!

So we watched the people on the boats instead! Look at the color of those trees…gorgeous!

We definitely had a nice day…we will have to do it more often.  Although Henry's restaurant behavior is still atrocious, so we might need to leave him home until he gets some manners haha.
