DIARY
Down By The Water
I grew up three blocks away from the Hudson River, and let me tell you: never once during the years that I lived on West 46th Street did anyone ever suggest that we pop over to the Hudson for a little dip on a hot summer day. Apparently things have changed, though, because yesterday afternoon a few friends and I set up camp at a small beach just a ten-minute drive from my front door, set up camp with sushi, pizza, and a bottle of rose, and...
swam.
I swam in the Hudson River. So did Indy.
It was so cool.

Family Road Tripping
We haven't done a road trip video in over a year now (the last one was shot on our drive to Ohio in November 2011)...so we thought it was time for a revisit.

Ogunquit, Maine Must-Dos
For those of you still planning your summer vacation, I very enthusiastically recommend that you give Ogunquit a shot - I honestly think it's just the most perfect summer town ever, and has something for everyone (carnivals, antiquing, gorgeous beaches, great food, fishing, et cetera). It's pretty busy on summer weekends, but if you can steal away during the week you'll find better prices on hotel rooms and shorter lines at restaurants.
