Trying to create an only in New York moment

(that doesn't involve poo on the subway)

We went to Governors Island, because during a run there, Michael spotted a newly opened area called Picnic Point, which had hammocks with a view of the Statue of Liberty.

New this summer, there is ferry service from Brooklyn to Governors Island. The Island used to be a military base, but now it's a park.

Sitting in the funny red chair while waiting for an unoccupied hammock.

Score!

Switching to sunglasses

Let Michael sit in the hammock too.

Awww...

Yes, we have his and hers coordinating tennis shoes.

After our photo shoot it was time to go back to catch the ferry.

Climb on some art on the way back.

There is also a miniature golf course and bike rentals. Regular bikes, tandem bikes, quadcycles... On Fridays, the bike rentals are free! We might have to go back and try that.

We spent two hours out in the sun. Farmer's tan alert!

By the ferry dock, there is a little cafe where we got a frozen lemonade. Pretty nice outing! Beats doing laundry.
