So much to do, so much to see

Hello followers! I'm sorry it has been a while since I've posted. I had quite the busy week!

I decided to go to the beach on Memorial Day, and boy was that a bad decision! I had literally only 2 feet of space between myself and other beach goers. Let's just say that the people at this beach weren't the type I would normally hang around either!

This week I expanded my cultural knowledge and went to the museums. I took Gabriel to the Museum of Natural History to see the dinosaurs, animals, and other interesting artifacts. I also went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. All the paintings and artifacts there were so beautiful! I now have a better appreciation for art. The only thing I don't understand is modern art. I feel like half the paintings look like the work of a 2 year old, yet people pay thousands of dollars for it!? I will never understand it. I also took Gabriel to the Central Park zoo, along with 10 other 2 year olds. It was so hysterical seeing them ride the public bus all the way to the zoo.

I finally got to reunite with my friend Leah, who lives on Long Island. Leah is also a nanny.I took the train to her house and spent the weekend there! It was so great to catch up and hang out. I'm so glad I get to see her more this summer!

This week my mom is visiting! I'm so excited for her to come. I love having someone in the city with me so I can experience more things that aren't as acceptable to do by yourself (restaurants, broadway shows, etc). She comes on Wednesday and will stay till Sunday. I think she'll be shocked to see where I live and how I've already gained so much knowledge in transportation and where things are in NYC.

I can still say 3 week in that I am loving it here! The Bieler's are a blessing, and I couldn't have asked to live with a better family! The kids are great, and I feel so comfortable around Kristen and Charles.

I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying your summer! I miss everyone very much.
