Rainy Day Adventures: The Result of Inaccurate Weather Reporting






The Plan: To explore Dumbo, Brooklyn Heights and Red Hook

Weather reports the day before suggested that "the plan" might need to be postponed until Friday but then Thursday morning, all reports said that the storms/rain would be over in the morning. So after waiting until noon for the skies to clear up, a friend and I set out as originally planned. Yay, the sun was out again! Or so we thought.

























So far, so good. The storms clouds are way in the distance now. This will be the perfect day!
































No sooner had we arrived in Dumbo, then the skies opened up and the rain kept coming.

























This is how I imagine the sky would look if the clouds ever lifted and the rain stopped.








Grey clouds and puddles that keep growing.....this will pass by soon, right?











Notice something different? Yeah, my umbrella broke. And yes, the only umbrella I could find was this child's one. I didn't realize how small it was (or that it had little turtles on it) until I opened it up outside. Desperate. Um, at least it matches my dress?









Sanctuary! Wait was that lightning? Maybe this isn't such a great place to be.










Weren't we supposed to look for that key lime pie place? Red Hook isn't too far away, right? This will be a piece of cake...or pie. 















Well, that was pretty dodgy. But there it is!














Oh, NYC....at least you keep things from ever being dull.
















THE END.
