U.S.S Intrepid

Yesterday we had a pleasurable opportunity viewing the re-docking of the U.S.S Intrepid. We have a great view from our apartment. We didn't realize just how close to it we are located. It will open back up to the public on Nov. 8th, at which time they will have a fireworks display- again a great view from our windows. I am actually very interested in going to see everything at the museum- how cool to explore this portion of history first hand.

There was so much taking place on the Hudson yesterday- first with the departure of the Science Barge from our Pier, then to the festivities of the Intrepid; the river was packed. The kids loved the patriotic sprays of water and all the different vessels crowding around the massive specticle, all of the helicopters buzzing around; it really was something to behold. We went down to the pier to get a better view, however, it turns out that it was better from 20 stories up!
The kids always have a good time on the pier and we took the opportunity for P.E. while we were out and about. It is certainly starting to cool down here and the breeze was chilly, but wonderfully refreshing. So for all of those who have commented on there not being enough photos of me, I have tried to make an effort to post some this last little while- not sure that it is necessary, but there you have it!
