It is kind of like pulling teeth these days to get a good photo WITH Quinn looking good too. It's hard to just concentrate on looking at the camera and not Quinn. Eh, we each got decent shots anyway!
Daddy and Quinn on the pier in front of the ice cream shop (yep, the lighthouse-looking thing is the shop!)
Mommy and Quinn before the journey across the bridge...yep, that bridge in the background!
It wasn't too bad...this photo was taken at about the upright part/whatever you call it part that you can see in the previous photo...on the way towards land again!
And I don't look totally freaked out do I?
Somehow Mike managed to get a shot with very few people in it. The bridge was pretty crowded. It was a pretty cool experience, and maybe next time I'll actually look up and enjoy the bridge a little more.
The bikers and runners made the trek a little more difficult as the majority of the people walk the bridge. I don't know that I'd have the desire to ever bike across it as people really can't walk without running into each other...much less having to keep an eye out for bikers who may hit you!
It was pretty windy and with the chill...it may have only been about 35 degrees or so. And, of course, Q insisted on sitting IN FRONT OF the wind shield so it really didn't help on the walk across the bridge. It did come in handy on our walk home. Mike and I were talking about juicy lucy's as we walked across the bridge and he managed to find a place that had them in Manhattan. It was another 30 minute train ride which meant at least an hour and half back home....but I was sooooo craving the juicy lucy that it was going to be worth it...as long as Q could handle it.
Well, she handled it just fine. It was a bar and she got to run around and eat mushrooms and burger and cheese and she loved it...I think. She loves being out and about really, so it was all good. Towards the end of the train ride she started to get cranky, but once we hit the pavement on our walk home from the subway...she was vegged out. And it was COLD and into the wind....burrrrr. But we made it home none-the-less!
I think I'm going to miss this city. Look at that view from the bridge! I love it. I really do! The view. Not the fact that it took us 2 hours to go about...hmmm....14.78 miles according to Mapquest. Gotta love trains, waiting, and walking to get around NYC.
And of course, Quinn-o-Vision!

Looks like a fun day, I would miss it too! Enjoy the time you have there :)
check her reaction on that bike, i think she like to ride one soon.haha!
I saw her reaction to the bike, too, after I posted. Too funny. She doesn't even have a little push bike...one of the down sides to a winter birthday, I guess?
Oh good another picture of Mike. Whenever Alex sees a picture of him, he sings "Uncle Mike" to "Elmo/Jingle Bells" tune ALL DAY!
Looks like fun. It was a great picture of NYC. You might miss the city, but you can always go back for a "visit". Enjoyed TB's comment about Alex...what a kid!
Kisses to Q!
