We had relatives visiting NYC all the way from Turkey. So we wanted to stop in and have dinner with them. We headed in early so we could explore a bit. We missed our first train, so we had an hour to kill before the next came. We walked around in downtown Milford, and found a bakery.
So we noshed the entire hour away.

Not too bad…
After we arrived in the city, we decided to walk a bit in Central park. We did not get to see too much. This park is huge and it will be a few trips in before we can say we have seen it. This time we decided to check out the water conservatory.
It had these motorized sail boats that you can rent and cruise around.
So we did.

Our relatives happened to be in that area at the same time as us, so Addy stayed and chatted, while I sailed with my boys.
I wish I was fluent in Turkish. It would be really awesome to have a conversation with Addy's family. I would even accept really cool technology to make this possible. I wish I lived way in the future and could have a chip implanted in my brain, so I could be totally fluent in Turkish. That would be so great. And a teeny bit scary.
But more awesome than scary, you know?
Then we happened upon a bronze statue of Alice in Wonderland.
We finally made it to dinner which was so yummy and all Turkish. I did not grab many photos as there were photos being taken all around me. I will post one here later. Dinner was long and all in Turkish, so it was hard for the kids to sit there and "be good", but they were!
So I wanted to take them somewhere cool for dessert.
Well, we were really close to an epic candy store.
So off to Dylan's we went.

I am pretty sure they were thrilled.
Finally, after filling their bags,
we headed home.
It was another pretty great day.
Life is GOOD!
