Williamsburg Parks on the River

Last week, I headed out to the Williamsburg bridge to scoot across with my sister-in-law and nephew. It was a perfectly beautiful day, and I love love love that bridge! After crossing the bridge into Williamsburg, we headed to the riverside parks just north of the bridge.

I sat on the rocks enjoying the warm sun shining on me, while J and P chipped away at rocks for P's growing collection. I also tried to avoid the random rat I saw running through the rocks (ha ha... out of the corner of my eye, I saw something furry scurrying along. My first thought was Ooo cute, a little animal, until I remembered where I was and realized that little animal was a rat...)


After spending quite some time in the smaller park, we headed to a larger one. I wouldn't have recognized the spot if J wouldn't have pointed it out, but before it was a park, it was a fenced in area that was kind of off limits to public, but with a great view of the night city.

Again, my nephew explored and collected. I read for a bit and people watched. Then we investigated this plant that grew on the river's edge. We even popped a few of those balloon-like bubbles.

This park is a perfect place to spend a warm afternoon and take in the city skyline from across the river.
