A few weeks ago, on a rather chilly Monday morning, T and I headed over to Theodore Roosevelt Island for some much needed outdoor time. T. Roosevelt Island has always been one of my favorite places in the city - the loop walk is approximately 1.3 miles long, making it doable with young children (and stroller-tolerant, if not exactly stroller-friendly). Plus, I like how the trail changes from wooded terrain to a beautiful boardwalk through marsh, with plenty of spots to feed ducks along the way. And in the middle of it all, a gigantic statue to marvel at.
If you're looking for somewhere to go this holiday weekend, I highly suggest a visit to Theodore Roosevelt Island. Whatever you choose to do, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
