The girls head to Pittsburgh

The first weekend in June brought a couple of family firsts with it:

1) Kelly and Diaz flew to Pittsburgh to visit Kelly's folks. Diaz has flown dozens of times, but this was our first attempt at a single-parent trip. A success on all fronts.

2) With the girls away, this was Don's first weekend alone at home in over four years. Whoa.

This was a HOT weekend-- high 90's, high humidity. While Don sweat his way through Bushwick open studios, Diaz and Pap Pap were running through the sprinkler. A few pics from Pittsburgh are here.

Coney Island Baby

Memorial Day weekend marked Diaz's first trip to Coney Island in about 3 years. And since she doesn't remember being 1 year old, for all practical purposes this was her first visit. It was soooo fun-- we rode everything! Cheese fries and cotton candy on the beach, fried clams, sand castles, and roller coasters. That's how we roll.
