nyc - brooklyn, part three .

all in all, brooklyn is a new favorite spot to visit while in nyc! it is a beautiful, family-oriented neighborhood, that provides a nice breather from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. we loved our little day trip over there  and will probably do it again in the future, when we have some time!

1) the view from the Brooklyn Promenade
2) the merry-go-round by the Brooklyn Bridge
3) Brooklyn Bridge

nyc - brooklyn , part two .

BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK .

so after our stroll along the promenade, and through the streets of brooklyn, we finally made it to the base of the bridge near the park . being october, there were all kinds of Fair-types of things going on, including cute little tots walking around in their halloween costumes early -- who doesn't love that??

so we grabbed something to eat as we passed by here (which, incidentally, contained the first Knish i've ever had. WOW. why haven't i had one of these before??? and, yes, the NY pretzels are just as yummy as they look . . .)  --->



 we got the cell phones out, went on a wild goose chase, and finally found lyndsey (lauryn's cousin) and her family! success! so we hung around the Brooklyn Bridge Park (i think?!!) and then headed to the merry-go-round . . . it was so cool.  i tried and tried to get pics of lauryn, lyndsey and her cutie-pie little baby Ava as they whipped by, but i couldn't capture them!!  still practicing with the camera and settings.  i'll throw a few on here that i did get of the picturesque merry-go-round, though!





and the next bridge over from the Brooklyn Bridge (which the merry-go-round is just beside) -- the Manhattan Bridge.



ava, lyndsey & lauryn having a giggle!
