I wanted to share a few more photos of our trip. As difficult, expensive, loud, dirty, cut-throat and overwhelming as New York can be, it is a city that still offers so much. And as glad as I was to come home to our warm, sunny, spot by the beach, I hope to continue to introduce nyc to my children, and that they too will know what it's like to call it their own. Someday. In the meantime, we had:

Central Park

 Doughnut Plant (!)

 The High Line

 Children's Museum of the Arts

 And Brooklyn, with it's indefatigable array of sweet little shops like Hiho Batik, where you could design your own batik creation. 

"Bye, bye New York!"
