Only parent and travelling with kids....it can be done!

As a mother of 2 wonderful boys and wife to someone who is in the theater business, I have been asked by many friends and family to blog about my travels with the kids. Most of my travels were done single-handedly because my husband would already be at the city of destination. I hope my experiences and mistakes help all of you travelling with children. It can be done with only one parent! I would love to hear from all of you and your fabulous trips with your children. Please share and let's exchange ideas, tips, and experiences. So, don't hold back and enjoy what is out there.

Summer 2011 Week 2

We are very fortunate to have a lot of friends in NYC. The weather was incredibly hot and humid here and it was tough for us Californians who are not used to the humidity. My girlfriend, AnnBritt, has two lovely boys who are just a year under my two boys. We decided to meet up in Central Park at a Waterplay area. My boys were so excited. Since it had been so hot, they were energized to know there was a waterpark at Central Park (CP).

We met up on CPWest and 70th. We walked into the park and had a snack/breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien, mid-Park at 69th Street. You have to walk into the park to find it. Delicious croissants and real lemonade!!! Everyone was very happy. Then off to Adventure Playground. It was closer to 67th, but really a nice little walk with the kids on a beautiful Sunday. We slapped the sunscreen on and let the boys go. My boys liked having their Keens because they didn't slip climbing on these concrete structures that were wet from the water features there. They had a blast and Annbritt and I had a chance to catch up! It was a great day for all!!!








After all that playing, boys were ready for a snack and so off to the ice cream truck. They seemed to enjoy it...who wouldn't? Fabien loved his Spiderman Popsicle!!! Is it because his dad works for Spiderman, The Musical????
