I hope you are all having a great holiday weekend. Mine has been quite full so far. Saturday we took Leo to our new favorite spot Gantry Park in LIC. This is how all of NYC's waterfront should look. Every inch was well thought out & utilized. Trees, flowers, docks, hammocks, benches, all blend well with historic pieces. It's relaxing to walk along the boardwalk looking out at the Manhattan skyline. There's nice grassy areas to run or picnic & 2 playground for the kiddies.

We stopped at the Water Taxi Beach to let Leo play in the sand. We learned from our Vieques trip that he did not like the feel of it at all. So we got him a pail & shovel & set him down in it this weekend. Victory!! He eventually took his shoes off & was running & jumping in the sand.

I headed to Yankee Stadium yesterday without my boys to meet up with some former high school pals. A busload of RI Yankee fans descended upon the Bronx. It was fun to catch up & reminisce and it ended up being a fabulous game to boot. Sunday's events would not have been possible without Facebook. I know it can be a major time suck, but some good things can come from it too. I have been reunited with some long lost friends. Today we are venturing out to Coney Island for more fun in the sun.

Let us not forget the true meaning of Memorial Day which is to honor all of those brave people who have fought valiantly for our freedoms. If anyone needs to be reminded of just how much has been sacrificed for us check out HBO's miniseries The Pacific or the Academy Award winner The Hurt Locker.
