After the long drive up, Nicole was an excellent hostess, starting our visit with a cup of milk and a PB&J for Anastasia. Stasia then spread out on the floor to color while Nicole and I caught up in the kitchen.
We visited for a while, then Anastasia decided she really wanted to play outside, so we started a game of hide and seek in Nicole and Jonathan's back courtyard. Before long, it was getting dark but Stasia didn't care at all. She wanted to keep playing.
We weren't able to stay with Nicole, which worked out well for us because we were able to take advantage of a free room at a wonderfully elegant hotel off Central Park. After a bath, it was time to head to bed.
Though I've visited New York plenty, I've never been to Central Park, and I was amazed by how beautiful and big it is. Anastasia was really excited by all the dogs making their way through the park.
Our walk around the park led us to a playground that looked perfect for Anastasia, with a wooden bridge and tower.
She was having a blast on this, then we found the slide. This playground had a massive stone spiral slide that was amazing. Anastasia had a ball slipping, sliding and rolling down this slide for more than an hour.
The ultimate destination on Sunday was a wedding shower for a friend. No pictures of the party, but Annie had a good time, and slept for a good deal of the ride home. Another excellent road trip for the little one.
