4th of july

yeah yeah i know it's septeber

i also know it's been forever and a day since our last blog...

and we had a REALLY super 4th of july. so i figured: "hey! why not share it?"



we took the ferry to govenors island


the line was crazy long! but we moved through it in like an hour and a half which wasn't too bad i guess.

at one point- there were some teenage girls that tried to cut in front of us when we were only one ferry away from getting on. mitch totally called them out and was like, "you know the line starts way back there, right" and one of them tried to play dumb and one of them pretended they were there the whole time, and one was like - do you really care? can we please go in front of you. and mitch was like "i don't care but you have to check with EVERYONE behind us too because you're cutting them all. and the guy behind us was like no- its not okay and everyone around us had our back and told them to go to the back of the line and everyone told mitch how great it was that he said something and the people behind us joked that we had been staring at the back of there heads for over an hour and that there's no way could have mistaken them.

mitch was the hero








the govenor's island ferry terminal is very old and very cool looking- way fun






and we're off!


when we arrived on govenors island i hit mission mode

our whole purpose of going was to see the band she and him

it was a free concert and the only let so many people in... i was very anxious. mitch had to tell me to settle down. so we explored the island for all of 10 minutes and got in line. we had to get wrist bands to get in. and then we had to get wrist bands to show we are over 21. but we got in without a hitch and settled into the "beach"








this was the group that went on before she and him but i don't remember their name




enter: she&him





she&him were winding down so we started making our way back to the ferry







we could still hear them playing the whole time we were in line and most of it we could see the stage too

and then we were on the boat...and we could STILL hear them!


they fit ALOT of people on that boat





we watched she&him leave the stage...

...and then wait for their encore.

they got it! they sang an american classic and an old school chuck berry

then they stopped and our ferry left



oh! and mitch got mr. softie when we got back to battery park




happy belated indipendence day everybody!
