Greetings from Prospect Park.

I am 37 weeks preggers now and we went to Prospect Park to take some cute photos. It is a huge park, 585 acres to be exact, located in the heart of Brooklyn. It is just a few blocks away from our apartment. We got some hero sandwiches at this authentic Italian deli on 7th ave. The guy next to me ordered Gabbagool so I knew I was in the right place. We walked up the slope to Prospect Park and had a nice picnic with our doggie.

The park is the masterpiece of famed landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who also designed Central Park. There is a forest, meadow and a lake in the park. Other attractions include an Audubon Center, Zoo, 1912 antique carousel, several playgrounds, ball fields, trolley ride, outdoor concert area, biking, jogging and more. After I have the baby and have more energy I plan to check out everything the park has to offer. It will be a fun way to get back into shape.
