Out with Mom!

(Preface: this was my away message Friday. Dad sent me an IM saying, "In with Dad!")

Friday morning Mom and I got up, got ourselves together, and walked to Joyce Bakeshop for breakfast. We then made our way to the Botanic Gardens, which were beautiful as always. Saw some crazy waterlilies and lily pads. Once we made it to the bottom of the gardens, we crossed through Prospect Park and ended up in Park Slope, where we had a really good lunch at Miracle Grill. Walked back to my place just in time to change and head into the city to meet Matt at the Seaport, where we caught the Circle Line tour of the Waterfalls art installation on the East River. They're these man-made waterfalls that are set up in different locations along the water on the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Brooklyn, and they were really neat to see from the water, not to mention the perfect weather and the city views. Got back to dry land and went back to Brooklyn for dinner at Franny's.
