The Mad Mans Old Stomping Grounds And Manhattan

The Mad Man took us into Brooklyn to spend the day with Grandpa Jordan and show us around his old stomping grounds. We got a tour of the 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment that he and his three siblings grew up in and were regaled with tales of his youth.

When the grand tour of the apartment was over and we had finished our brunch of bagels and lox, we drove to Sheepshead bay.

My father wanted to take us over the bridge that he had crossed on his way to the beach as a kid. As we were walking towards the bridge big gray clouds started rolling in and it began to drizzle.

The light drizzle turned into quite the shower and we ended up heading back to the car for cover. Once we were in the car we headed back to the apartment to hang out for a bit and then on to dinner at an italian bistro on Kings Highway.
 

After dinner we headed back to  the apartment to look through some old family photos and say our final goodbyes.

The next morning we woke up bright and early to head into Manhattan for another adventure. We had lunch at an Indian restaurant with some very close family friends that we hadn't seen in a long time.

After lunch we went to the Museum of Natural History to find some dinosaur bones and watch a movie about the creatures of the deep sea.

We found some dinosaurs

And some distant relatives

We stayed at the museum until closing time and were eventually kicked out by the security guards. After leaving the museum we made our way to our cousins apartment for a delicious deli dinner and to say our goodbyes before returning to our luxury hotel.
