What a fabulous weekend! My son now lives in Hoboken so we get there a decent amount and I love trying new things, (last time I rode bikes around Central Park which was a great adventure!) the sunset cruise sounds fantastic!

Hi Laura! I loved reading about your trip with your son and the wonderful memories you made. You packed so much adventure into your long weekend — it was inspiring. What a cool photo of you on the glass floor!! Have a great summer.

@Coree- I’m very grateful that he is willing to spend time with me. And I’ve just written down those tea brands on my calendar for November for potential Christmas gifts – thank you!

Oh, for some reason, I felt quite emotional reading this. I think there’s something really special in the relationship you’ve fostered with your eldest, and it’s amazing that he wants to do a trip with his mom. I’ve got a 6 year old boy, and it makes me think about how I can keep that strong connection as he gets older.

If he’s a tea lover, do an order from Mariage Freres or Palais de The. Palais does these tea advent calendars at Christmas time, and it might be a really great gift.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder about Kathleen’s podcast! I saw her mention the possibility of one on IG, but I rarely check IG anymore so I never went back to see when/if that was actually happening! Can’t wait to check that out.

Your 1:1 trip with your son sounds like a really special time!

In reply to Elisabeth.

@Elisabeth – it was fun! The glass floor didn’t really feel as scary as it looks in the photo…I promise 🙂 And yep, the entire Summit experience was kind of designed I believe with people taking iPhone pics in mind. It’s really funny to see — that is how we all experience things these days!
