Governors Island

A couple weeks back we headed over to Governors Island. This Island is a 5 minute ferry ride from Lower Manhattan (just a 10 minute walk from our apartment). Can you believe this is just 5 minutes across the water from the cauous of the city? It was beautiful. We went over with a few friends and enjoyed a picnic on this huge lawn of grass under a tree.

Poppy's BFF Frankie. They heart each other. More pics to come of these two. Including photos from a one hour dance session that we had over at our friends apartment last weekend. Seriously, these girls have some moves.

Blueberry and Cream Tarts

This recipe is suprisingly pretty easy and the best part about it, there is no added sugar (well, a tiny bit of powdered sugar on top of blueberries but it's optional). If you're looking for a party desert or breakfast, these gems and awesome. I found this recipe here http://sproutedkitchen.com/?paged=2

Love of dogs

On Saturday we were out all day. Started at 9AM heading out to Govenors Island with some friends for Civil War day. Governors Island is a quick ferry ride from Manhattan and was once a Naval base but has now turned into a biking Island where people can tour and take advantage of open space. We had a picnic on an open field. Glorious. Once we got back we were determined to just keep Poppy up instead of putting her down for a late nap so we could put her to sleep at a friends house and get a joint babysitter (I'm sure this is all very interesting). Anyway, here are some photos of what we did to try and keep her from conking out.

Dog Park (exciting)

Seaport Park

I'm pretty sure she made it to 8PM and then we formed a bike gang and road. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

I really need to start posting some more interesting topics. I'm really struggling with this whole blog thing. Help

New Port, Rhode Island

We road tripped to Newport, RI last weekend to stay with a friend of Reyn's. That place is so dreamy. Green and lush, beautiful beaches (with 70 degree water), and mansions everywhere! Reyn had to work the first day we were there so I took Poppy out in the rain to tour the town. Then we drove and looked at all the mansions, incredible. Poppy was being such a good girl so I just kept driving and driving. I never get to drive in NY so I took advantage. Such a good escape. We hit the beach the second day. So sad this is the only photo I took the entire time. Poppy was partying in the waves. I highly recommend this place!

Sunday Picnic

We spent the afternoon at Battery Park a few Sunday's ago. Not sure if it was a good decision being close to 100 degrees with 50% humidity (hence Poppy being shirtless and chugging her water). That white skin just soaking it in.
