Andrew, Matty and I are currently in NYC, blogging on the lap top! We arrived yesterday and immediately went to Steppingstone park in Great Neck. It was a beautiful day and after 5 hours in the car, we needed some fresh air and Matty needed to crawl around. He also had the opportunity to try out his two new hats, both of which stayed on for a total of 2 minutes before he ripped them off and almost threw them into the Long Island sound!
After a nice time at the park, we went to dinner at Shish Kebab and had yummy gyro salads, always a favorite when we make it to the island. Then we hit up Ralph's Italian ices for the best Italian ices I've ever had! Who has ever had chocolate chip cookie dough Italian ice? Seriously, the best. We then had a nice night back at 225 Shoreward where Matty decided to sleep ALL NIGHT, without waking up once! This is a rare occurrence and would be nice if I could actually enjoy it but I tend to wake up every hour or so and worry about him...I'm sure Ill get over that sometime soon!
Today we headed into the city to meet up with my parents who had tickets to see South Pacific (a Christmas gift from us!). It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm and a nice breeze. We enjoyed walking around the city but someone didn't like the subway very much...Matty had a bit of a melt down, poor little guy. While my parents were at the show, we went to Central Park, to the "sheep meadow"...the big field outside Tavern on The Green where I just found out today there used to be a sheep farm. Of course, all day long I kept hearing Andrew say "sheet metal"...I knew we were going to Central Park but I had no idea where he was taking us! The "sheep meadow" was packed! It was pretty fun people watching (and celebrity scouting...I saw none) and Matty's aunts, uncle and cousins came to meet us for some fun and ice cream. Matty had his first ice cream sandwich...he loved it!
We then met up with my parents again (they loved the show!) and headed to dinner at Citrus and then to PINKBERRY! Yes, we were in the city for more than 24 hours before out first Pinkberry experience! We shopped a bit at Fairway and then headed back on the subway (fun again for Matty!). My parents hit the road and we are now settled in at Andrew's sister's apartment. tomorrow looks to be more fun and yummy eats as we are going to attempt to head out early in the morning to see the Donut Plant, a donut joint our friends Ingrid and Josh rave about. Let's hope the 5 borough bike race through the city tomorrow doesn't stop us!
***More pictures from the trip to be added soon!

It sounds like you and your family are doing great. Keep up the blogging. I need to learn how to add pics to my blog too. Sometimes I think people think I'm making stuff up when I write about these yokels. A photo here and there could really jazz up my blogs.
How did you guys like Doughnut Plant?
