It's summer and schools out! Time for the annual flood of friends and family from all over the world to visit NYC....and stay with us. People in our family jokingly refer to our home as the Brooklyn B&B....only we serve dinner and lunch too thank you very much.
It's only July 9th and we've already had 2 sets of visitors. Last week, we had the more enjoyable visitor - our friend's eleven year old son Jonathon. Lily just adores him and they had a fabulous time together. We did: the beach several times; the Bronx Zoo; Statue of Liberty (Statued of Liverty as Lily calls it); Chinatown; Little Italy; parks; and the grand finale....the latest Disney Pixar release Wall-E. Thank god my husband stepped in and let me sit that one out. I'm fried on children's television and films. I don't care how cute the trailor is there's not enough alcohol in the world to get me through another kids summer blockbuster release.
P.S. - I bribed Lily with candy to look directly at the camera for this shot!
You are definitely having a good time:) I miss guests coming to our place,- we have so crazy schedule (working from morning till late evening) that only rare friends can find a chance to visit us...
