We're back from our annual trip to New York. Lots of fun with Jeff's cousins and their families at Mohonk Mountain Home (in New Paltz) and in Scarsdale. At Mohonk the other kids took Theo under their collective wing and whisked him off to the game room, or the putt-putt course, or the hedge maze. Theo was in heaven. Then we spent 5 days in sweltering Manhattan. Of course we made the trek to the Natural History Museum, and Jeff and I also explored the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn and heard some great live Jazz. Usually I leave NYC with a yearning to spend more extended time there (or even live there) . . . but I didn't feel that way this year. The sounds, smells, concrete and crowds are just too much for me now. But it is a great place to visit.
