Nicholas and I hit the streets of Manhattan yesterday for the first time ever - ON A BIKE! NJ's seat came in from amazon.com, along with his cute blue Bell helmet, covered in fishes and turtles and other sea life.  Mom went out with a friend so the boys were on their own.  It all started out well, but when I saw that it was too cold to go along the real bike path along the Hudson, we had to hit Broadway.  So it was sidewalk city, from one street to another, which was kind of annoying, but nowhere near as annoying as the seat to Mom's bike (which I was riding), which kept falling down after being reset.  I mean, I know I need to lose some weight, but this was ridiculous!  And given how far down I was, it was like riding a clown car.  We did, however, manage to hit the Harlem bike shop, the Burger King and tried desperately to find the red velvet cupcake place to bring a treat home to Mom.  You can see how much NJ loved his carseat in the shot below - so much so that he feel asleep.  Nothing says "A day out in the city" like sleeping in your bike seat.  Afterwards we hit Gideon's, our local Jewish bakery, to get our shared cinnamon roll.  Ah...the weekends.
