What a year its been...

...and its only the end of May.  Somehow, time seems to be flying by.  We hung out with family, had back issues, went camping, endured colds and sickness.  Please let the rest of the year move forward without any other speedbumps.

I was looking thru photos recently and it hit me hard like a a brick wall...i. miss. brooklyn.  I can try to find similarities here in Alameda but they will never be anything like Brooklyn.  Friends, Prospect Park, Zoos, Coney Island, Aquarium, walking miles and miles without even knowing it, traveling everywhere by subway, breaking my back hauling a huge ass 2 year old around and paying way too much for rent (ok I dont miss the last few)

I think its hot enough in NYC (really it was 100 yesterday!!??) right now that we'd be doing this right about now...

Here's a few faves from Bklyn (there were way too many to choose)

BAREBURGER with Auntie Momo

Mister Softee at JJ Byrne with my pals

Pied Piper of Park Slope

American Museum of Natural History...and the T Rex!
