Erica is a rising fourth grader now.

For the long weekend, we took a trip to NYC for Emmett and Sonia Mae's wedding. Was such a happy occasion and an incredible celebration, plus we got to meet baby Roger, who is wide-eyed and adorable.

We took the train both ways. On Thursday afternoon, I got to stop by Clio's bakery with Erica (Clio is Emmett's sister, she's an extremely talented chef, she made an amazing wedding cake for Emmett as well). The bakery is so cool, it has a beautiful little cafe space.

On Friday, we went to Luna Park on Coney Island. The weather was hot, but we had a ton of fun. Erica went on her first full-sized roller-coasters with me. We went on Tickler, a spinny wild mouse, and Soarin' Eagle, a lying-down flying coaster. I was new to those ones, too, it was really fun to try it together.

On Saturday, we caught up with my Aunt Ellen and Uncle Mark, they had us over for a very nice brunch at their place.

The trip home Sunday evening went very smoothly, though it was certainly a late night for Erica, after another late night on Saturday. But she seemed to be rested well enough for the start of climbing camp this week. Then we head to Sandy on Saturday.

I finished reading Starter Villain on the train. And I've started watching Pantheon.

It's hot hot hot today and hotter tomorrow. Summer's here!
