//... try and try... not to chuck your camera

// our mothers inevitably needed to use the restrooms when we reached the park so jess and i found a cool rock to chill on and take some pictures while we wait.

// the pictures say it all.

// when our mothers returned, my mother quickly stated "i grew up in new york the first half of my life and i've never been to central park before!!!" {from here on out, please read all my mother's comments with a thick long island accent - for full effect}. she then asked jess to take some pictures of she and i on the rock

// as she sat down on the rock she says to me "this is how you do it in central park, you gotta just chill". i quickly responded with "ma, you just said you had never been to central park, how do you know how they do it here?!?"

// "kerrin, don't make fun of ya motha!" after we relaxed for a bit on the rock, my mother was adamant about seeing strawberry fields...
