Feb 20 - The Day We Thanked Washington For Being Born

Dear Mr. First President: thank you for being born and growing up to lead a nation in its pursuit of freedom, the kind which now manifests itself in an official holiday where we do absolutely nothing related to you, your birth, or your patriotism.
Sincerely, 
A grateful American who spent the day lounging and eating cookies in your honor. Sort of. Ok, you were more of an afterthought. I cannot tell a lie. (You see what I did there?)

So, as you can see, I had a very American holiday. We (Husband, Best Friend, and the Pizza Monster, aka BF's Husband/Husband's BF) don't get the chance to do many non-business things together, so when we decide to close the shop for a day, we don't play around. Or rather, we do. The original plan was to go camping, but there was a rainy forecast so we opted for the indoor kind. Like in a house, with a TV and a full refrigerator.  After breakfast and second breakfast, we made our way to the Science Museum, which was awesome. This was followed by movies, new job outfit shopping, popcorn, cookies, and all around good times. Did I mention that I LOVE President's Day?

Highlights:
1) The Science Museum: where grown adults can go and be 5 again. We crafted, we made paper airplanes, we experimented, we took pictures with giant turtle sculptures, we got in water fights with small children...oh, wait, that last one was just my husband.

2) We spent the morning with coffee, on a porch swing, talking about garden plans, the environment, sustainability. In fact, we talked all day. Don't you just love those people with whom both silence and conversation are equally golden?

3) Got Best Friend outfitted for her new role as Michelle Pfieffer in Dangerous Minds, or at least thats what we see her as. Either that or Whoopee in Sister Act II. Maybe a rogue science teacher out to transform the minds of Ft Worth's troubled youth through hip hop? If anyone could do it, she could. Look out, room 11!

Love & Cookies In George's Honor,

K
