Looks relaxing. I am on vacation with my kid in NYC right now. The opposite of brain shutdown is going on but I still love it here.

I guess vacation is still working if your brain was shutdown but now it's alive and in the moment.

Shitty work can make active brains slow down (depression) and slow brains speed up (anxiety)

What are you doing while you're there?

It's been awhile so it was cool seeing the high line completed, the hole where the trade center was filled in with another building and times square still as crappy as ever lol. The street fests are another level now

If you need a good thing to do, the Union Square green market is amazing, and it's worth the trip to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.

Going by there tomorrow, will check it out. Thank you!

My two kids are here. So I guess I don’t have full brain shutdown. But, I’m not working. So I’ll take it.

Enjoy it! I’m on mine next week!

Nice, I live near a beach and I almost never go there (1 or 2 times per year) I always find it funny that people want to spend vacation there...

To be fair I don't dislike the beach, but my gf does, and that doesn't help me to go there more often.

I live near the beach too, actually. This vacation is only about 5 hours away from where I live. But, without work I have some time to enjoy the sand and a drink in my hand.

Nice. Higher brain functions are overrated.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Looks spectacular, walk in the water for me.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago

I'm going in 7 days :)
