Spring Break

Yesterday was a day out with my work friend--we headed up to a neighboring city, starting with a coffee shop and a very little work. 

Then we stopped at a new (to me) park for a walk. 

Then out for lunch (chicken pot pie--an error of an order because I realized that I just wanted Nana's chicken pot pie and anything else would be disappointing; this one was cheesy?!) and a little window shopping before picking up dessert--ridiculously good mango cake--to bring home to our families. 

A wonderful day together out of the office with wonderful weather and non-stop conversation. 

In the evening, Francisco got the kids and we headed to a different city for The Glass Menagerie. They had educator discount for previews so we got my favorite thing--cheap tickets to a play. The twist: My plan--to give the kids headphones and audiobooks for most of it--was thwarted (too strong) when I discovered it was theater-in-the-round and the cheap seats they gave us were on the side in the front row. But we didn't bother anyone, though I was a little uncomfortable wondering if we were being silently judged. If we do this again, I need to remember to beg for the back row.
