ten years

This clip says so much. Not about terror, death or devastation...but just what was. Makes me sensationally happy that I got the opportunity to live in the shadows of such an icon.

Remember the victims, the families, the survivors...

Summer of '11

Hard to believe it is September with the first day of school just two days away. The Summer of '11 provided us with beautiful travels and fun times. Catskills, Ft. Worth, Indiana and capped it up with a great time in the United Kingdom and even worked in a weekend in Paris. Our journeys were filled with joy, friends, adventure and often relaxation. One can only hope the exposure of these places will give our child important lessons and inspiration to carry through life.

Many pictures and thoughts to come...

Fourth of July

The long weekend took us on a wonderful journey to Sullivan County in the Catskills. Being Catskills rookies we were completely impressed with the beauty and vibe. Our lovely friends housed, fed and entertained us at their beautiful home on the banks of the Delaware. All of this is a little more than two hours outside of our little island of Manhattan. We even had the pleasure of a perfect fireworks extravaganza provided by neighbor of our friends. The show was off the charts of spectacular. And for we highrise dwellers it was the grandest feeling being underneath the fireworks and feeling the boom! The Best!


A lovely weekend with amazing friends in the most peaceful of settings. We definitely plan a return trip.

And as only the wonder of New York can provide this was one of our first sights upon re-entering the city.

The character of the land is always shining through. Sometimes it is visions like this that make me love it even more.

We finished off our most incredible Independence Day by stepping outside to view the annual fireworks provided by Macy's. For the second year in a row the Hudson River was the launching ground. We were worn out after the walk home after such a full weekend, but it was the best kind of exhausted there is!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day!

New York on Sunday

The State of New York did it. Congrats to our former neighbor and current Governor Andy Cuomo.


Hi George. Even though Wall Street is right around the corner I don't find myself venturing that way too often as of late. Good to see George is still there and keeping things under control. He proudly stands in front of Federal Hall where he took his oath of office.


The New York Stock Exchange dressed up in her red, white and blue. Probably in anticipation of Independence Day.

Felice Giorno del Padre

A day of perfect weather was a great way to celebrate Father's Day.
The journey started in the West Village and ended at Lot 30 of the newly expanded Highline.

Welcome to Rainbow City!

It is an amazing collection of spectacular inflatables designed by FriendsWithYou. Bright. Whimsical. Happy.

Always been a fan of the Highline. Learn more about it here!


Walking west on 30th a placard was discovered.

A great love of NYC is how a simple journey to a destination can offer a lesson in history. Who knew Abe was right there on 30th and 9th Avenue in good times and in sad?

Hope the day was incredible for all the Fathers and male role models out there. We are so lucky to have people like you to help us through life.
