Day 78
Coney Island
June 20, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
This morning we made our way to the bagel shop and had a lazy morning while we waited for Ger to get home from work.

The adults stayed up way too late the night before and finished the Tenessee whiskey in one sitting which Josh bought so were all a bit tired. The kids were cranky so after lunch it was nap time for all.

After naptime everyone felt better and we made our way to Coney island. Brandon was unfortunately to small for most of thr exciting rides so we stuck with sno cones and a ride on the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel had cabins that swung or were stationary and we were adventures and went on the cabins that swung. The first swing was scary but the rest were fine. We had a great view of the city, boardwalk and beach.

While we were up in the sky we saw the whalburger, a hamburger shop owner by Mark Whalburg, and we read about it months ago. We stopped there for gator tots and fries and made our way back to Ger' s house on the train.

We wanted to get the kids to bed early but before we knew it, it waa already 9pm after dinner was finished.Read more

Day 77
Walking around NYC
June 19, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 23 °C
We had our first night at Ger and Ed' s apt and we all slept well. The ac was on and the kids slept in our queen blow up beds together while the adults slept on the futon.

Ger's neighbor Dianna and son came over and we then adventured out in the neighborhood. We got bagels, coffee, dollar store stop and then to the Greenwood Ave playground which was great.

Ger had to work at 3pm, so after lunch we took the train into Manhattan and saw where she worked. It has a awesome roof top where they grow veggies and a beautiful view.

We then left Ger to her few hours at work and we walked around down W Broadway and finished at the World Trade Center site and the new building in its place. We unfortunately had to take the train back during rush hour but we all made it back together. Josh almost had the door shut on him while trying to get into the train with the pram.

The kids went to bed and us 4 adults had a lovely time staying up and chatting.Read more

Day 97
Times Square, NYC
July 9, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
As we drove home last night, on our last drive we were thinking about how we drove over 10,000 miles and we had no accidents and no tickets.

Elisa went to get the car this morning and was issued a ticket for a no standing zone, as she parked in the dark at 11pm and then to make life even better she got another ticket for parking in a no parking zone when she was unloading. We walked back and forth from the car to the apartment at least a dozen times and never saw the sign.

Today is almost our last day to be tourist. After unloading the car we ventured into the city. For lunch we took the train into Manhattan and met Maria, Elisa's cousins wife. We then walked into Times Square to see the craziness of NYC.

We spend the rest of the late afternoon packing and packing the car with anything that is being given to Danielle, like our trusty awesome tent.Read more
