I’ve been trying to visit the Cloisters since, oh, probably the mid-1990s. Finally. We made it. Very happy we did, especially after seeing the gardens. And the unicorns. The Cloisters is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Here’s […]

We went to see our new neighbor and friend Mario the Magician perform in the city, and to Mae’s great amusement, she was chosen as a helper during the show. Well, criss-cross, applesauce! (Sorry about the blur, but it was […]

Piermont celebrated French Independence Day by closing down the street and serving food, selling trinkets and hiring a band. Because nothing says Bastille Day like a a Dead Cover band. There was also, separately, a carnival in Flywheel Park, hosted […]

For a little holiday diversion, we took the kids to see the butterfly exhibit and the dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. Oh how Mae hoped a butterfly would land on her hand. Alas. Everyone, however, […]
