The Best of the Financial District

With preschool ending last week and summer camp (July preschool) not started yet, Sam has the whole week to explore new horizons.  So, what did we do.  Well, we've been focusing on wearing underpants this week (not going so great, but probably could be worse, well, maybe not) and took a trip to see some of Sam's favorite things in the Financial District yesterday, including:
- A "subway adventure" trip on the 3 to the WALL STREET STATION (upon exiting at Williams and Wall St., Sam declared: "It's New York City!")
- A walk-by visit with some old friends, the statues of George Washington on the steps of Federal Hall and the Charging Bull at the top of Bowling Green Park.
- Returning to Toddler Music with Irka Mateo (a class at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian that Sam loved, but had to give up when he started preschool in May due to conflicting times)--pictures below
- Giving high-fives to his two favorite doormen at the building we were temporarily housed in on Exchange Place (and re-inviting them to his yet-to-be-planned birthday party in August).
- A picnic on Pier 15 on the East River, overlooking the South Street Seaport Historic Ship Museum.
- Played at the Imagination Playground
We also did a few new things that were fun:
- We saw a trapeze class on the pier at the seaport.
- Attended a music class called "Bilingual Birdies" at the South Street Seaport--also pictured below.
