Bits of Our Weekend

This weekend was a relatively quiet one. After the expense of last weekend, and our planned trip to the Poconos for the 4th of July, I thought a quiet weekend was in order. On Saturday, we packed a little picnic and headed over to Pier 62 - part of Hudson River Park.

 

 

There's a great carousel that overlooks the water - The Hudson River Animals carousel. It's kind of hidden. To be honest, I didn't even know it was there till last summer. Rides are only $2 and the accompanying parent rides free. We did a couple rides on various animals and then headed over to the little field and set up our picnic.

Nothing exciting - a couple cookies, a couple clementines and bottles of water.

 

Later on we went to our favorite park and Audrey played in the water for a while.

We also walked by a pop up Farmer's Market in our neighborhood, so I bought a loaf of sourdough and some veggies and made this amazing sandwich for dinner - Avocado, tomato, cucumber, arugula, bell pepper, salt and olive oil.

On Sunday, Audrey spent the afternoon with her father. I used the time to run some errands, watch a couple episodes of Game of Thrones (I'm newly obsessed) and lay in the little field on the pier and read, well, Game of Thrones (I did say obsessed...).

The weekend was relaxing, but Audrey had fun and we spent plenty of time outside. We head to the Poconos Wednesday evening to spend a few days at my parents' house for 4th of July.
