Brooklyn Bridge – Multi cluster event
On Sunday, we met with seven other clusters from Fairfield County for our annual walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. We were fortunate to have a beautiful Indian Summer day, after a stormy Saturday. On the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge, some au pairs discovered DUMBO ( Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) with the fabulous views of Manhattan and the delicious restaurants and adorable stores. Others walked back into Manhattan and admired the Manhattan Bridge, which celebrated 100 years on Sunday.
