Summer In NYC 2012

The beginning of August signals a lot for me. August 1st kicks off a month-long birthday celebration, throughout the month of August I'm witnessing carnival novelties pop up across Brooklyn in preparation for the parade next month and then the reality check hits me mid-month that the summer is coming to a close.


While I'm a little sad that summer will bid us adieu pretty soon, I can only reflect on how amazing this season has been even with the intense hot-waves! Vacationing in the city has been exciting from taking a day trip to the local parks, sailing on the ferries as an alternative route to trekking to those unchartered parts of New York City and re-exploring neighborhoods that I haven't been to since I was in my early twenties.


This summer was (and is) dedicated to re-confirming what I already know - how awesome NYC truly is!

With still a few weeks left of this summer season, I have plenty more planned (and unplanned) to look forward to. I can't hardly wait!
