we went to central park after church yesterday. it was a beautiful day. i couldn't believ how many people were at the park. we decided to go up to the belvedere castle. the castle is where the central park center of the national weather bureau is, but it was originally built as a lookout point for nyc. the castle sits on the turtle pond and is right next to where shakespeare in the park is performed. after we checked out the views we found a quite shady spot for penny to throw her ball and for us to relax. it was wonderful.
