Hello and welcome!

I live in Montreal, Quebec, and my first language is French.

May I insist on the fact that I love getting comments?

An Empire State of Mind

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
These lights will inspire you...

That's exactly what I had in mind during our trip to my favorite city last week.

{The Rockefeller Center from a 4th floor window at Saks Fifth Avenue...}

{A vision of spring in the wintry streets}

{Snowy lion at the Public Library}

{Snowball fight in Bryant Park}


{Chelsea Market}


{Meatpacking District}


{A pensive moment in a Soho restaurant, New Year's Eve}

{We rang in the New Year one block from Times Square, because the whole perimeter had been blocked for hours and we couldn't get nearer. Obviously we didn't know but wouldn't have made it anyway with LP... He was sleeping soundly in his stroller by the way, until the noise woke him up at 11:58, so that's why he looks so confused and unhappy in the picture! We could see the Square, hear everything, and see the million confetti when the ball dropped, but couldn't get in. Oh well. The atmosphere was still fun and crazy! Can I still add this to my life list? Because I personally absolutely think so.}



{Playful at the Museum of Natural History... "I don't want to see dinosaurs", he negotiated with us. "Only crocodiles. Crocodiles, I like".}

Do you know that in 33 years of living in NY I never went to Times Square for New Year's Eve? Looks like you guys had fun. I've been wanting to do a weekend or even just a day trip with Marcus. Maybe this summer. And next year I think we'll be able to bring Michael up to see the Christmas lights.

funny, my (almost) 2 year old LOVES crocodiles....his favorite song is about crocodiles! (Ah les crocos, cro les crocos, ah les crocodiles....sur le bord du Nile ils sont partis n'en parlons plus!)

PS - LOVED the Bryant parc snowball picture. Sounds like a wonderful trip and YES I think you can check off Times Square for midnight!
