“Plane” Amazing!
This ship is HUGE and there is a great deal to see and do from going down in a submarine that is real to seeing a retired Concorde ( free to examine from the outside; expenses A GREAT DEAL extra for a tour of the inside), to seeing the r m shuttle Enterprise (also costs additional), plus ALL THOSE fighter planes, not to mention, the Intrepid itself…After all, it is a SEA, AIR, and AREA museum.
We got there right after opening and used our awesome culture that is c l at no cost entrance. We did pay extra for access to the Enterprise. We spent a couple of minutes admiring the Concorde through the outside (b/c we didn’t desire to pay the $40 for the tour, which can be the only method you could possibly get inside) after which made our way the Enterprise. Essentially, you enter a large hanger, it is kind of dark, and there’s the Enterprise if your wanting to. There are images and facts and numbers around, but really, there’s not much to do apart from viewing a quick film about journey (pretty amazing simply how much information they stuffed in to a 5 moment movie), and achieving your photo taken because of the Enterprise. And also to be honest, the truth that this specific shuttle had never actually been to r m ( it was the testing model) was extremely disappointing for J nonetheless it had been nevertheless c l, and absolutely worth a one time visit…
We then made our option to top flight deck and\ tested the planes then went across the inside the ship.
In the lower fl r there have been more vessels and helicopters and the like ( plus a huge Lego model of the Intrepid – Hence c l but in addition therefore big it well) that it was just not possible to picture. There’s a lot more on the job material doing here, like sitting in a place capsule, or small helicopters… That part had been fun that is super also for Little L who actually had no admiration for all your planes…
Unfortuitously, we were actually hungry and the line during the submarine seemed actually long so we chose to call it an and come back some other time (gotta love our c lculture card!) day.
Undoubtedly worth the visit, particularly for air plane enthusiasts!
MorningSUN Park
From the time we saw the gates go up and also this sign
Plan for Playground 123 in Morningside Park
We’ve been awaiting the brand new play ground at 123rd road in Morningside Park (a well liked park of ours, which we’ve blogged about before here).
We have patiently watched it being built.
The park during renovation.
And yesterday, it SUBSEQUENTLY launched! We had been had been therefore excited as s n as we saw the tweet through the Friends of Morningside Park that the park was going to open a thirty days s ner than planned and so forth sunday early morning, we were on our means, bright and early. It seemed we were perhaps not the sole ones whom knew that the park was opening as another household had been also here but aside from them, it had 
been pretty empty. There were still some eleventh hour touch-ups being done by the park design team but we had been nevertheless in a position to play (and our dad was able to just take lots of images for the park – obtained from a reduced angle in order that they l k like they’re from our “kid” viewpoint).
The park is certainly larger than the one before and there are numerous c l new features We love the new sprinkler area, the fact there are both little kid and big kid swings, as well as the new baseball court is truly nice. There are several benches and places to sit and picnic and they have even chess tables. And we’re thrilled that the bear that is black nevertheless here.
Little Kid Play area
Big Kid Playground
The Sprinklers (again)
The play features are great t but we must acknowledge, we type of miss the fireman pole therefore the big slide that is double. Plus, our mom – who is big in to the “line of sight” rule isn’t thrilled concerning the fact that the type of sight at the playground is not great at all. So if L would like to play within the kid that is little and J would like to play within the big kid area, Mom might go cross-eyed attempting to keep close track of us both.
We’re additionally going to miss out the quietness of this park (at most of the times) but at the time that is same we’re excited in regards to the brand new park and thank brand New York Parks for the improvements! (Now if only they might paint the eyesore of the building into the center!).
