Two Ice Skating Rinks in NYC: A Tween Reviews
The following post was written by my 12 year old son, David, based on his experiences ice skating with a few of his friends this past weekend. This is his Adventure, without parents in tow. This weekend my friends and I went to Battery Park Ice Skating Rink. I was really excited because I love to ice skate . The price is pretty decent at [...]
Ice Skating in The Pond, Bryant Park, NY
Bryant Park is one of my favorite smaller parks in NYC. I have written about it here before. It is the main location of every year's Fashion Week , and of many more events year round. But in the Winter especially, the park is transformed into a Winter Wonderland, and The Pond is created hosting a free skating rink, along with shops for the [...]
New York Hall of Science, Corona, Queens, NY
It's a beautiful, yet very cold day here in New York City. On days like these many parents are going a little crazy trying to figure out what to do with their kids. I personally have a few "inside" favorites, like the The Brooklyn's Children Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, Liberty Science Center, Staten Island Children's Museum, [...]
Harlem Meer Festival, East Harlem, NY
Ok, let's face it. The weather in NYC has been awful as of late. I have tried to take my children to a few Adventures and no soon do we get two blocks out that they start complaining about wanting to go home. I have been all too willing to comply. It's been THAT bad. But after a few days of only short ventures out, we had decided it was time [...]
Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND
We left Billings, MT and were slowly starting to make our way home. We now had to drive through North Dakota. I had never driven through this state, but everyone I spoke to said it wasn't much to look at. The the scenery was flat and boring. So you can imagine my surprise, as we drove down I94 when I started seeing huge cliffs, and than [...]
Yellowstone National Park: Camping
I have been talking about camping with the kids for months now. Before we headed on our trip, though I talked about it, camping with the kids...or camping at all, seemed like something "fun" to talk about, but a little nerving to think about. But here we were, heading to Yellowstone National Park with an open mind and ready for anything this [...]
Mt. Rushmore and Beyond
On this day we headed out of Sioux Falls and made our way through the Black Hills as the morning sun slowly rose. We stopped at the incredible Mt. Rushmore. Mt. Rushmore is one of those places that you see on TV and movies and print, and you suppose it's great and all but really have no clear comprehension of that until you are standing right [...]
Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn, NY
Many times when visitors think of "Great New York City Parks" they think about Central Park. And of Central Park is pretty great, amazing even, but it's not the only park in New York to be so. NYCity Mama has written about Riverside Park here and here, but not so much about Prospect Park, in Brooklyn. And though in this Adventure, she and [...]
