Ever since our day in Dumbo P has wanted to ride on a barge carrying sand. With that out of our hands we were able to offer the Staten Island Ferry for his enjoyment today. Super Uncle Seth came with us, which always thrills P. Thrills him so much, in fact, that he is usually a bit of a handful with all of his excitement :) Yesterday's simple sub rides were a thing of the past and today's were filled with spinning around the poles, climbing the poles and acrobatics on any available bars...
The ferry ride entrapped him. I was too sea sick to participate too much, but he appeared to ask E a thousand questions about the boat and the water. He loved seeing the Statue of Liberty up close and had the added treat of popcorn from Papa. Afterward he zonked on our walk through downtown which gave us big people some time to gawk at the gorgeous architecture. Its like a ghost town on the weekends, devoid of all of the money makers the focus is truly the buildings. Its fantastic to see old relics standing beside skyscrapers; architectural time capsules for public viewing. We made a smooth transition to the lower east side and settled on some snacks from Whole Foods before E and I went to a movie. P woke up in time to carefully select his deli choice (pasta salad and cookies) and handled the separation very well. We saw "Into the Wild" at an awesome theater a block away and then practiced acrobatics on the sub ride home. All in all a great day - hopefully Seth isn't too exhausted :)
