NYC part 1: the city and lots of friends



Our first day in NYC and we hit SoHo and
this very fancy gelato store. Boy are we all jet-lagged.



Thanks Kalyani for lending us your cool BKLYN pad.




Here's the gelato...$5. EEK.



Two people in this photo have their eyes closed.



Jeff and my friends Eli and Oliver.



A very special Falafel from world famous Mamoun's.



The new park in Union Square has this cool climbing structure.
Very challenging.



Central Park near the boat house.



I loved this band and mommy bought the CD.

NYC part 2: friends and the beach

Hilary and I. It's like we were never apart.
Friends forever.



We went to their pool club in Little Neck.
A lot of authentic NY characters there, but our camera's
card was out of space and all we got were these 2 iphone shots.



Paradise on a warm beach at Jen and Emma's
beach club, Sand and Surf.



Soaking up the rays while taking a break from digging a hole in the sand.



Emma Bean buried herself in the sand. Cutie.



A snack before hitting the beach.



Our lovely hostess', Jennifer and Emma.
Special thanks to Jen for picking us up and taking us back to the airport.

NYC part 3: East Hampton and the family

He's teaching me chess, but I turned it into "battle chess".

I love the beach.

Yeah. The girls made this cake for her.





Happy birthday Grandma!

I love swimming. I played in the pool as much as I could.



Me and cousin Michael.
We were playing star wars or guns or something like that.
