Summer's Last Hurrah!

With Simon starting school so late, we decided to have one last vacation in and around New York City.

Our first stop was The Bronx Zoo where we saw peacocks, giraffes, gorillas, a rhino and a tiger! The baby gorillas were the most fun and cute things to see (sorry Madagascar hissing cockroaches).

Next up was Long Beach, NY. The beach was completely empty. It was windy but fun and we were able to capture our annual kids in the hole picture.

And last was an amazing adventure in Mystic, CT. We spent a few days checking out the Mystic Aquarium where we got to feed sting rays, Mystic Seaport where we checked out how boats were made, and the unplanned but equally exciting Submarine Force Museum where Simon got to sit on a giant gun.

Oh and did I mention we also found the PEZ factory?!
That was pretty cool too :)

It was great way to end summer!
