Trip to the Island

Trip to the Island

A small group of knitters planned a meeting on Governors Island. I like going to the Island - it is such a beautiful place! Usually I would go there at least once a summer, but that didn't work out last summer because of COVID. So I was happy to join the group. It is a short ferry trip across part of the Hudson River. The Island has a stunning view of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. 

The evening before, I made a pair of boys shorts and decided to take Thomas with me to enjoy the Island and take some pictures. Anthony got a model boat last Christmas, but unfortunately he couldn't go, since he desperately needs restringing.    

For the shorts that I sewed, I used a pants pattern and cropped the length, but I'm not sure I like how they fit. They looked better after ironing, but I will look for different pattern next time I want to make a pair. 

Checking the map

Thomas was happy to see a lot of ships and boats and was impressed with them. 

A very tall flower.

Thomas took his camera, but I didn't take mine.  

We discovered a beautiful new picnic area! 

I regretted not taking my camera with me. The pictures that I took with the phone are good, but they are not the same as with a camera.

Bike ride? no, another time.

Being curious about the ferry.

 On the way home. There will be a lot to tell Anthony about the trip!

Coming home on the train.

I love his face in this picture.
