Travel Review: Babymoon in New York City


After Camp, we headed in the city for a babymoon. We both enjoy exploring NYC and had a great time as always. Wes went atop the Empire State Building for the first time. I had seen the view on a previous NYC trip, but convinced him he had to see it.
What a breathtaking view! Monday was packed with sightseeing. We wanted to see the new HighLine Park in the Meatpacking District and The Superhero Museum in Brooklyn. So, we did what we do best and just started walking. We walked everywhere. We walked through Chelsea, Soho, Greenwich Village. We ate at a wonderful cafe' and then went to the HighLine. It was wonderful how they took an old railroad track and made it something useful.
We then headed over the bridge to Brooklyn to go to the Superhero Museum. Dave Eggers started tutoring centers across the US, but they have to have a storefront. The one in Brooklyn is for Superheroes...like Wes.

We bought Violet a onesie here. I can't wait for her to wear it! We then went and ate delicious pizza, walked back over the bridge and headed to the hotel at 71 Park Ave. All in all, we logged 10 miles of walking and were ready to relax. We wrapped up the babymoon with a visit to Rockefeller Center and FAO Scwartz (which was not all that for a toy store). We had a wonderful babymoon and recommend NYC as a babymoon destination for active pregnant moms and dads.
