Late Summer Evening
Sep/04/06 10:58 PM | Adventures
Jamison Park was lovely this evening around 8:00.
We were walking by, actually headed to the swamp
park, when The Kid decided he needed a dip. Next
thing I knew he was stripped down and racing
through the water - carefree and happy. There were
only a handful of kids and parents, and only one
dog, and it was a pretty perfect scene.
Earlier today we cruised Art in the Pearl. The kid's table was not as cool as yesterday, when we came home with linoleum block prints and fish paintings. But we did have a nice time watching the belly dancer ( a princess, said The Kid) and squishing a moist sponge over wet clay. The lines at the icecream stand were too long, so we headed up to Mio Gelato for the perfect shared cup - chocolate and amaretto.
We had started the day at Sip & Kranz, one of two great kid-friendly cafes in the neighborhood. Sidney's is fabulous, but Sip & Kranz is closer. I was able to enjoy adult time with an old friend while The Kid played hard in the playroom. One nice thing about the cafe is that is has broad appeal - the outside tables were populated with women coming from yoga and the older pearl demographic. And we shared the inside tables with young professional looking folks plugged into ipods and laptops.
