What to do when you want to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge but it’s raining? Go anyway. We were really wet by the time we got to the other side. Shoes squishing with water wet. Was it worth it? Probably. ☔️

What do you do when you visit the Museum of Modern Art? Well for many it seems that you navigate your way to Van Gogh’s Starry Night and take a picture of it in a fairly unhelpful mass of people.

We successfully escaped from the Playground room at The Escape Game in New York! It was a fun room with a wide variety of puzzles to solve. It took a while for us to get momentum, but with some time (and some clues) we got going and escaped with exactly 1 minute on the clock! Room 49!
