More City Fun




Yesterday, we started the day with some delicious bagels with various shmears and then headed up to the American Museum of Natural History. Colin loves giant squids and ocean life, and I knew there was a life-size blue whale in the ocean exhibit, and whaddayaknow, there were also a couple giant squids.










The subway stop for the Museum is also one of my favorites because the mosaic tiles are beautiful compilations of different animals, fish and insects.


After many hours there, we met up with Anthony at the newly opened High Line Park. Originally constructed in the 1930s to get the trains above the busy city streets, it was saved from destruction by people who valued the history and turned into a greenspace with plants and flowers that are native to the area. It was beautiful, and we got some gelato!
