Kate & john invited us to their cozy place in Harlem, and so went and celebrated Isla's first trip to NYC. Taylor & I had been saving the Natural History Museum for a first visit with Isla. So away we went to explore the amazing museum. We were all in awe. The dioramas, the huge dinosaur skeleton, the australopithecus 'Lucy," the squid & the whale, and MOST OF ALL, the butterflies! Isla was in complete & utter entranced, amazement. The butterflies flying all around us had her complete attention. It was awesome to see. Isla could have stayed in there forever, if not for the 80 degree humid temperatures her companions were sweating through. A beautiful butterfly decided, most perfectly, to land on Isla's arm. Unfortunately we are fairly certain, that she never realized it was there. It was a lovely weekend. Isla is such a New Yorker.
