Oh! Central Park! - The boats and Alice.

We've been back for more than a week now and in  a few days we are off again. We've been, however, even if it is for a short period of time, trying to get back to our routine. Or whatever you call it during summer vacation. 

The weather has been amazing lately. Sunny but not too warm. Yesterday, I took the kids to Central Park and we decided to rent one of the model boats at the park's Conservatory Water. Everything was nice about the experience. The quietness of the water, the calmly way the boats move around the pond, the excitement of the kids, the nice breeze while I watched them seated below the trees, the birds chirping, the ducks swimming around the boats. Exactly what I needed yesterday and what we frequently need when living in big metropolis - some quietness and nature.

Just next to the pond, there's a huge sculpture representing Alice in Wonderland. The kids love to climb on top of her head.
