On Saturday we went sailing! Sailing is actually a pretty intense sport. My Uncle Pat has been doing it for a little over a year now, and he invited us to go with his friends Steve and Malorie, who own a sailboat.

We were both asked if we would like to help work the sailboat. I declined. Johnny said, "Sure!"
 |
| The view of Manhattan from the boat...Isn't that a cool boat in the picture? It looks like a pirate ship to me! |
|
 |
| Not gonna lie...Johnny and I ended up getting pretty burned on this sailing excursion. |
 |
| The city again |
 |
| The men (Johnny, Uncle Pat, and Steve) |
So I have to admit...I almost ruined the trip by getting seasick. Luckily, I was able to hold off throwing up until we were about two hours in.
 |
| I was told to look forward after my whole throwing up ordeal, so here is the view looking forward! |
 |
| That's my boy! |
 |
| Steve drove us really close to the Statue of Liberty on the way back! |

| They brought the sails in and ran the motor to get me back faster. They were really nice about having to come back early :) |

| Afterward, we ate snacks on the boat! |
We had such a great time. Johnny loved sailing. As soon as we left, he was like, "We have to get you something for your motion sickness so we can do that again soon!" I loved going over to New Jersey and getting out of the hustle and bustle, but I have to admit I am really beginning to enjoy Manhattan!

Ah! I didn't know that you got sick! That is too bad! I bet I would have gotten sick too! But you got some GREAT pictures!
That looks incredible!! (despite the fact you got sick...) Next time I see sailing lessons on Groupon or wherever, I'm getting it. So fun!
That looks like SO much fun! And you got awesome pictures. How cool!
what an incredible outing! I love Uncle Pat.
Try Bonine. It worked wonders for me on our cruise and Rick uses it every time he flies.
