We definitely have been in full summer mode around here trying to not let the season pass us by without getting the most out of what it offers – fun outdoor exploring. So we’ve been spending our afternoons engaging in different activities throughout the city, like enjoying a special jazz event at the Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest land marked mansion in Manhattan. We spent an entire afternoon there comfortably nestled in our lounge chairs sitting on a steep grassy hill listening to the beautiful sound of jazz with an occasional reading of some dramatic poetry in between each performance. As it got later in the afternoon, with the rays of sunlight streaming through the towering trees rustling above, parents slowly started to pour in with their small children and soon we had a flock of them playing, conversing and dancing all around us. At one point, I even ended up getting a hug from one little girl…cutest ever. I must say that moment sure transferred us to a time when neighbors and families spent their late afternoons in the outdoors enjoying each other’s company. This particular summer experience makes for a memorable day in the books. It was great fun!
