Summer Fun... Governor's Island, NYC

The girls and I ventured out to Governor's Island on Friday. This is another one of those NYC gems. On Fridays you can take a free ferry from Manhattan to the Island, ride bikes free for one hour, and then spend the rest of the day strolling around the island, picnicing on the grassy field, swinging on the swings, laying in the hammocks (more accurately waiting hours for a hammock to then lie in for several minutes -- did I say lie, I think I meant swing in, flip in, toss and turn in, bounce each other out in, etc. etc.). It was quite fun, relaxing and beautiful. I'd recommend this to everyone, although it is seasonal.
