I used to be

I think Mrs. Jazz is in Brooklyn?

My brother lives in Queens but I would love to join the picnic if I'm in town during the time! Planning a trip back late August/early September!

Yes! Would love to...we had an NYC meetup thread going a few weeks ago but it kind of petered out...

I like to visit Brooklyn, my sister lives there. We don't have plans to come up this summer though.... maybe in the winter because dhs cousin is becoming a bat mitzvah then.

I'll come!

@Mrs. Bee: It has suddenly gotten so nice out these last few days, but it looks a bit iffy next week. Looking forward to the picnic meet up! That's a great idea and kid-friendly.

@Mrs. Bee: I agree - for the kids! It's totally warm enough for me, though. I am so excited to be outside all the time again.

@Mrs. Bee: I've been waiting (and WAITING!) for it to warm up. I have this vision of a Saturday in Prospect Park with a bottle of wine, baguette and goat cheese from the farmers market, and my LO sleeping peacefully in his stroller. Of course, it will probably end up more like scarfing down some bread to get home for a nap with an overtired baby and possibly a blowout...but a girl can dream!

@hummusgirl: ha this was totally my dream of this summer as well. The best laid plans...

@hilsy85: We did it! Today we went and did the whole thing - bread, wine, cheese, park, everything!! It was fabulous. The only (not at all surprising) issue was that LO wouldn't sleep in his stroller so he got tired and a little fussy toward the end. But, worth it! We still got a lot of good time (and sun) in. Highly recommend it!

I looove the lake. It's so relaxing! It's a little far from where we are so we don't get down there often but when we do it's like a mini-vacation (I'm easy to please).

@hummusgirl: we were actually there today too! Tried to go to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, but it was a madhouse there--all these people dressed up in crazy costumes! So we went to the park instead. Maybe we crossed paths unknowingly!
