splish splash i'm outdoorsy!

two weekends ago good friend of mine was up visiting from d.c.  being that we were still coming down from the biggest heat wave in forever, we decided to take advantage of nyc's awesome parks and rec's programs.  meaning... we were going to kayak for free!  yeahhh!  it. was. awesome.  it was cool and breezy and we had fantastic views of the city... and even new jersey.  highly recommend.  we went up to pier 96- no crowds, no wait, just walked right up, signed a simple consent form, threw on life jackets, and hopped into our individual kayaks.  seriously.  it was that easy.
