Rooftop Drinks at City Winery

My favorite day at Hudson River Park starts with mini golf

includes some time swinging in the gardens and ends with a rooftop drink.

Hudson River Park has full 18 home mini golf that's New York themed.

It's long enough to let your competitive spirit come out.

And if you're doing really well, you may even decide to gloat a little bit.

and if you win, your sister might buy you a pretzel snack.

We then went over to the gardens on the pier and enjoyed some time chatting,

You also get some great views of the water and of New Jersey.

Finally, we went over to City Winery where we enjoyed the sunset.

We got a little drink to celebrate our fun day

even though not many others were. highly recommend doing this before

Head to Rockaway beach 

This is your sign to plan the perfect beach day and bring a piece of it home.

Did you know you can take the ferry to Rockaway Beach and get there in under an hour?

If you're looking for beach gear like towels and chairs,

we got ours from Target for under $10 each item,

The waves were huge and everyone was having the best time in the water.

I really wanted to make a little art piece that

we could bring home and commemorate the beach day.

So I had this idea to paint the sea and use glue to add sand and seashells.

It's super beginner friendly and I'm literally going to think about this beach

day every time I see our artwork hung up in our home.

We took the ferry back during sunset and the views were amazing.
