Wow, my mom and I were really busy when she was here last week. We walked all over the city and I had sore legs and feet every night. I have several posts to detail our time together. The first weekend she was here was the best part because Brian was also able to come home for about 40 hours (not even 2 full days). We spent Saturday visiting a new park in Chelsea called The High Line. It was originally constructed in the 1930s to lift dangerous freight trains off Manhattan's streets. Now they have turned the old tracks into an elevated walking park that will be a mile and a half long once all sections are complete. We enjoyed walking the path and looking at the naturalistic plantings on a beautiful day.
To escape the heat we headed next to the Chelsea Market and sampled a variety of yummy foods and treats. The waterfall in the market was really cool.

We ended our day with a delicious dunch (dinner/lunch) at the Standard and while waiting had refreshing beers in a German beer garden. What a wonderful day.
