We meant to visit all summer long and finally made it to Governors Island. Just a free, 5-minute ferry ride away from Brooklyn, there was no excuse to miss this amazing little getaway.

The timing was perfect though because we could go on our first family bike ride since Mika took off her training wheels! She actually biked all around the island with us, enjoying the wide, car-free roads and the scenic view. We brought a little picnic lunch and made good use of the local swing sets. Tobin resisted his nap until 4:30 pm, then crashed in his bike seat…

We’ll be back again for more bike practice and to continue to explore the historic parts of the island. The latter was cut a bit short due to Tobin being inseparable from his bike seat. Zzzzz.
