Little Girl #2: Ok...for some reason, I thought she was your cousin.
Little Girl #1: Do you even know what a family friend is?? ... it means our moms were in playgroup together when they were our age.

Thinking Back to 8th Grade
I remember my 8th grade trip to Washington DC. I remember it being so exciting leaving my little town in Long Island and exploring another city with my classmates. I remember having so much fun on the bus on the way to places like the Lincoln Memorial and all the girly giggling in the hotel room each night (at that age, staying in a hotel room with your friends was just the coolest thing).

Harlem Walking Tour
Went on my first-ever NYC walking tour today, a tour of Harlem’s Jewish’s history. The building you see here used to be an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in the early 1900’s and it now stands as a church. If you look really closely at the picture you’ll see a Magen David (a Star of David) right between the pillars and above the sign which remains from its days as a synagogue.
