new york city – See Jane Blog

when i was in nyc last week for alt summit, i had one thing i really really hoped to see (and experience) if i had any extra time – the rain room at the museum of modern art. what is the rain room? a field of falling water that pauses wherever a human body is detected.

get a load of this place…

it is the happy alt. sign that welcomed me to altNYC. i decided that if you could live inside a blog, the closest thing in reality that could offer such an experience, would be living inside the buildings which encompass martha stewart living omnimedia.

i didn’t know what to expect. but whatever it was, all of my expectations were blown out of the water, and it was better than i ever imagined.

more pictures from our nyc trip.

we spent Dec. 30th – January 1st in nyc. this was our first time to drive there from boston & we are totally hooked. from our front door to our hotel, it was 3 hours. + the most beautiful drive through connecticut. the best part of this trip: it was the first time for kj & sela to see the big apple! so, we did as many of the kid-friendly-must-see sights as possible in three days!

the only downer: husband rear-ended a guy five minutes after we pulled into the city. then, when we parked in little italy to have lunch at one of our favorite pizza stops,
