Hoboken Week in Review – May 12, 2013

Looks like a much improved day after yesterday! Get out and enjoy!

Oh – and Happy Mother’s Day, too! Check out this photo I snapped from Columbus Park before the rain washed it away. Seems like Mom’s are 50% of what they used to be, because now NANNIES share the holiday headlines! How screwed up is that from a family perspective?

I suppose in due time, it will be “Happy Mothers Day to all Mom’s, Nannies, housekeepers, landscapers, daycare centers, baby sitters and child protective services!”
