I know everybody had major plans for this Chol Ha’moed,
however, where did you really end up going, or what did
you really end up doing?
I started by cooking up a storm in the kitchen, proceded to eat much
of said storm, then realized I put on some weight, so went hiking,
next day went shopping. Im going to concert on wed nite B”H.
(will be the guy in the b_h tee shirt J/K!)
bein_hasdorim: so who’s ganna be at the Wed. concert?!
Will this get past the mods? I went to a film festival 3 times. The first 2 times to see the free Charlie Chaplin movies. The 3rd time to attend a “master class” given by Elliott Gould. The Chaplin films were good, anyway.
work, work, work….sadly, work
I went to work.
I went to school.
I traveled the subways.
I spent time in the library.
I even managed to catch a few hours sleep.

well i have been spending time on the computer in the park ummmm on the computer oh! and i went bowling today
I went to the circus. Not the usual, everyday circus I attend. A different circus. It was kind of a letdown for me.
i enjoyed my day yesterday at CLOVE LAKE PARK. It is located in staten island and it has a beautiful lake it has wonderful walking paths and biking paths with hills. Right next to it is also an ice skating rink. Also there is a kiddie park. Also there is place to play ball and basketball courts/baseball. Yesterday it was packed with frum people
Clove Lake Park is also right near the Staten Island Zoo, which is a very nice small zoo with a wonderful petting zoo area. That is where I was yesterday with my family and we had a very nice time!
ripley’s believe it or not, bowling and the best day so far- played monopoly with my siblings, about a four hour game!
NYMOM, where? clove lake or the zooo
HIE: The zoo. And it was a lovely day for it!
Monday: Apple picking in CT
Tuesday: Collected seashells on the beach at Asbury Park, NJ
Wednesday: Mrs. 72 and the jr. 72s went to the monsey Uncle Moishy YBC concert
Thursday: (Plans) an undisclosed location along the Jersey shore for more shell collecting
I stayed home for certain reasons…… My kids went today to a very nice farm with their grandmother and on Monday to a nice park.
jersey gardens, manhattan, beach,
Recover from childbirth 🙂
Spent time with my grandfather, took the kids to a park etc. Nothing too exciting.
Ooh! Pookie how was the shopping?
BS”D
I played with a real, live 600 kilo bear and fed it three kiddushes worth of herring so it would not eat me.
Then I gave a shiur on “Burning your sukkah for fun and profit” al pi nevelus birshus hatoire d’Chassidus Creedmoor.
And if you believe that, I am also making kiddush on a four liter jug of zechs un ninetziger, straight from the hardware store, Simchas Torah night.
SJSinNYC, Mazal Tov!
We were able to take off from work, school, and training, for one day to have a family outing! The zoo, park, and arts & crafts. Yay!
mybat, boring
Oh well pookie! I guess I get excited with American shopping cuz I don’t live there.
Nothing to get excited about.
Don’t burst my bubble!! 😉 for me its fun!
Whoops, I think I misread you there. Disregard my previous comment.
is is just me or did any of you learn that its assur to shop on chol hamoed?

If so, then I’m in trouble, since I just went out and shopped for peppers, mushrooms, a cucumber, corn and Bacos for lunch. 🙂

bygirl13- if there is a sale going on that will not be available after yom tov, it is mutar to shop. there are a couple of other requirements that I cannot remember right now.
wolf, lol!
Today’s outing: The Atlantis Aquarium in Riverhead (Long Island). Nice place, especially for little children. But a bit of a schlep from NYC.
we jut got back from a 2 day trip to baltimorte 3.5 hours away but no need to pack food minyanim in abundance my kids loved the b&o railroad museum and the aquarium there is the best i’ve ever seen. well worth the schlep
birchat Kohanim at the Kosel
went around the Old City
The Jerusalem Biblical Zoo
relaxed…ahhhhh
You are also allowed to shop if you will wear the piece of clothing on yom tov…so if u find a nice outfit to wear for simchas torah…then its allowed!
No dolphins, but they do have a nice sea lion show, a really hands-on petting pool for stingrays (you can even feed them if you want!), and a very creative decor. They also had outdoor exhibits of otters and penguins. And even have diving with the sharks available – for a small fee of aprrox. $150, if you’re into that kind of thing!
Uh…. Bygirl who said they went shopping? Pookie just said she was in jersey gardens.
And even have diving with the sharks available – for a small fee of aprrox. $150…
Seems like a bit of a ‘fee’ to me 😉
Turtleback zoo 🙂 in west orange new jersey.. Free on tuesdays after 2… Met the whole world there.
Mchemtob: Have you ever been to the aquarium in Camden, NJ? Baltimore’s aquarium is beautiful, but I was also really impressed by the one in Camden. It is on par with Baltimore, if not better!
It is also a bit of a schlep from NYC, as it is just over the border from Philadelphia, but well worth it! (Just don’t venture around Camden itself, as that not a safe city.) And there is kosher food in nearby Cherry Hill, NJ, as well as, Philadelphia.
mepal: I should have said “small” (in quotes), as I was being facetious and myself would consider this a colossal waste of money!
nymom – no have never been to camden but thanks for the tip we were talking about a trip to cherry hill because there is kosher and it’s a jump to philly (I think) so now i’ll make note of the aquarium too thanks!!
Mchemtob:You’re very welcome! Glad to be of help!
One other point of interest: There is also a battleship docked near the Camden aquarium, and they allow visitors to walk through. I believe it’s on the NJ side. This may or may not be of interest to you, but thought I’d mention it.
NY Mom: Oh. I thought you left out a dot and it should’ve been 1.50. lol.
Thursday: Collected more seashells on the beach at Asbury Park, NJ.
also… I went to Yeshiva Chol Ha’Moed each day with my three boys!
mybat, im not a she i want with my family, its the girls day out
Oops! Sorry pookie!
It’s nice to see how creative we can get (mod 72)
bein_hasdorim – it wasn’t so creative… It was loaded with yidden, we could have had a beautiful mincha minyon…
bygirl13- if there is a sale going on that will not be available after yom tov, it is mutar to shop.
Then I *really* in trouble. The things I bought (peppers, mushrooms, corn and cucumbers) were not on sale and will be available after Yom Tov. 🙂
