Nanny in New York
June 2005
Doesn't that sound like the title of a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie? I suppose that would have to be plural...Nannies in New York. Anyway....
After our weekend at Disneyworld, my birthday on that wednesday, we then flew to New York the following saturday. what a week! We flew with the girls into JFK and then drove out to the Hamptons. Brad's sister, Audrey, and her husband and children live there in the summer (and in the city off Central Park the rest of the year, of course). I was so nervous to fly with the girls. I can't imagine how awful it would be to have one of them throw a temper tantrum on the plane! What can you do? They scream and everyone hates you. But, thankfully, they were as good as one can expect toddlers to be. even better. Once we got our rental car and started driving, however, Alexa threw up all over herself, the car seats, the diaper bag, the toy bag, brad's briefcase and me. As i'm trying to clean her and do general damage control Brad took the wrong exit. what a way to start.
But our visit was really nice. we didn't end up staying as long as we originally planned due to some unforseen disagreements. but while we were there the girls had a fabulous time playing with their cousins Max and Isabella (4 yrs and 2.5 yrs). They have a great big backyard with great outside toys and a nice pool. Each day we went into one of the different towns, East Hampton, South Hampton, Bridgehampton etc. It was really nice and the towns were really cute. but, i didn't see what all the fuss was about. It was like Cookstown, or St. Jacobs. Lots of cute little stores and cafes and real trees and flowers. so i think the New yorkers just don't remember what real foliage is like and they get crazy over it. It was like living in the country around New Lowell, except all the houses are enormous.
We then went to the city and stayed at the 70 Park avenue hotel. We did the tourist thing with the girls. We took them on a horse and Buggy ride through Central Park, up in the Empire State building, and just spent a day walking around the streets looking at the sights. It was sooo much fun to see everything and just be a part of the energy that buzzes through New York.
Brad has this great Sony camera that records everything directly onto a 3 inch cd. As soon as i figure out how to copy it i am going to send the cd to a bunch of you so you can see the videos as well as the stills. We got a lot of good video of us and the girls and i can't wait to share it. i wish i was more techniacally inclined so i could easily send it.
