As great as living in New York is, sometimes you just need to get out of the city. Jonah's school was closed this past Tuesday for a staff development day, so we decided to take advantage of our lack of childcare and get out of the city for a long weekend mini-vacation. We didn't go far, but it felt like a whole different world.
We went to Rhinebeck, NY - which you may recognize as the home of the famed Chelsea Clinton wedding. No, we didn't go for that reason. Actually, Rhinebeck hosts the Dutchess County Fair every year and we decided it would be fun to take Jonah. Jonah had a great time seeing all of the animals and riding the rides. Mom and Dad - well, we chased after Jonah - and had a good time, too. The place we stayed is a bed and breakfast and a horse farm. They board horses, have a donkey and free range chickens. Jonah especially enjoyed getting to TRY to catch a chicken and petting the horses. All-in-all, a great weekend together as a family and a much needed break from the City. The photos from the farm and fair are here, here, and here if you are interested.
This photo just presented itself and I liked it so much that it became my photo for the week. Now that Jonah has transitioned to his big boy bed, we decided it wasn't fair to ask him to sleep in the pack and play on trips, so we found a toddler air mattress that has built in bumpers on the sides to help keep him from rolling out. The air mattress worked out well but he still fell out a couple of times - out the end where his head was. Yes, he's a restless sleeper.
This photo is Kristi getting Jonah to bed for the night. The light is what was there, coming off the lamp on the desk. There's a little bit of fill from another lamp I had on by our bed, but not much. This photo is my 24mm at f/1.8 and ISO 3200. Thank you Canon for the beautiful 5D Mark II and it's amazing low light capabilities!
