Fun day
At noon we headed into DC for a Harlem Globetrotters game. Sue and Evan met up with us there. The boys had a great time and I regret that I don’t have a photo of the huge belly laughs after pants were pulled down at mid-court. It was fun for me to see that over the 30+ plus years since I’ve seen them, not too much has changed. The bucket of water that turned into the bucket of confetti was still part of the show. (The pre-game show with “Globey” singing and dancing was all new, if for no other reason than iPods were not around when I was Robert’s age.) 
After the game we met up with Sally late of Atlanta, now of Wesleyan University. She was on her way to Atlanta and Savannah for spring break and we met her at the Building Museum. Robert (and his parents) introduced her to the cool Lego exhibit. She in turned helped in the construction of this arched bridge. And after seeing an “M” across the room, she crafted the “R” to top the bridge.
After a too brief visit with Sally, we saw her to the metro station and headed home for a parents night out at the big fundraising auction for the school. The food and drink were great, the conversations fun and we managed not to walk away with anything we didn’t really need. It was fun to watch the bidding war over the case of the best wine made — but $200 per bottle is too rich for our blood. comments... trackback (explanation) TrackBack ping me at: http://www.kayakero.net/news/blosxom/file_12994381299918.trackback Add a comment...
