This weekend was a great weekend. On Friday night, we (and the gallery) surivived our visit to the munchkin’s first art gallery. In the car on the way home she kept asking, “Why couldn’t I run in there?” Really?

The Conservatory has a great exhibit right now called Bending Nature that she loved. Part of the exhibit is an interactive area for [...]

This weekend, we had beautiful fall weather which was perfect for a hike. Hiking in the fall is great, because it isn’t too hot or too cold and the bugs aren’t biting.
