Midtown

Manhattan was relatively quiet last week, like it’s been for months. And even though I’m not exactly a huge fan of crowds, it’s still a little sad. Like the city has been abandoned, which it kind of has been. No

Photo Monday – The Cloisters

When the girls were at sleepaway camp, M and I went to the Met Cloisters. It’s kind of far for us. Either we drive for 40 minutes or we take the subway for an hour. We went with my favorite,
