A beautiful day in Central Park

It's great to explore outside of Manhattan and experience all the fun places to visit within an hour or two drive. But sometimes it is just as fun to stay home, visit a street fair, museum, or all that Central Park has to offer.


I always like going down the slide with Mama...









Or being on the swing by myself...










Or just staring at the sky in my favorite Anpanman shirt and Crocs...









WOW, all this activity makes me thirsty - don't forget to rehydrate!
More water pleeeeease!

Family trip to The Bronx Zoo

The Bronx Zoo is so much fun. Mama and Papa wheel me around in my stroller and I get to see all the animals that are in my books at home. And sometimes I even get to see them up close...




Don't I look just like a gopher?








Down here Mr. Goat, down here!









Mama, why are the giraffes all the way over there?







OOOOH, Hello there. Your feathers are almost as colorful as my comfortable Crocs - hahaha. What's your name?







Nice to meet you Mr. Peacock. Can you please open up your feathers so I can see them better? I hear they are beautiful and I would like to see them.








WOW, THANK YOU...THEY REALLY ARE BEAUTIFUL!








Now you're just showing off.





This was so much fun. Next time can we go into the safari...pleeeeeeeeease!

Philadelphia's "Please Touch Museum" is GREAT

The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia is a wonderful place for you toddler to explore, learn, and interact. From the Alice in Wonderland area, to the mini animal farm, and a grocery store with plastic replicas, everything helps your child learn and understand things in different ways.

Hey Mr. rabbit, smile for the camera.

Miiiilk...more milk PLEASE!

Yes, thats me in my Crocs again...I just can't get enough comfort!

Massimo at Massimo's in Princeton NJ

Traveling with Mama and Papa is so much fun. I get to see new places, experience new things, and meet new friends. Sometimes I even get a surprise...like this sign!

I didn't know I was so famous. People are even naming their restaurants after me - like this one called Massimo's in Princeton...YUMMY!

Sesame Place is FUN!

Although Massimo watches only very little TV, he does know all his favorite characters by name. And if you ever watched Sesame Street as a kid (who hasn't?) you know their names too...Elmo, Big Bird, Grover, Cookie Monster, and Oscar immediately come to mind.

Sesame Place is a great place to spend the day with your child...

The slides are the perfect size and surrounded by a soft, rubbery surface.

There are also plenty of water activities even for us 2 year olds. This water slide is the perfect size!

And don't I look fashionable in my Crocs shoes (they are the most comfortable in the world). And my new Crocs top (yes Crocs has excellent apparel including bathing suits, shorts, and amazing tops).

I even got a front row seat (on Papa's shoulders of course) for the parade.

WOW its Elmo!!!

I can't wait to go back...hint, hint.
