A Morning at the Park

Elliott and I ventured up the street to Thompson Park for our morning walk.  Thompson park is actually quite a pleasant little surprise in Watertown, NY.  It was designed by Olmsted, who also designed parks like Central Park in NYC and the beautiful Cherokee Park in Louisville, KY.  The park is complete with a sweet little zoo (which we have still not visited, but plan on soon).  Here are some pictures from our stroll....

  1. Thank you Erika, for the little update. Reading your post and another sneak peak at Elliott, and all is right with the world. Thank you for being such a special addition to our lives, and for bringing Elliott into our world... no one could ask for anything more. Can't wait to see all of you in 2 weeks.
