Since the book was supposed to be finished by Friday (more on that later), Andi and her friends left town for a girls beach weekend at Topsail Island. So the boys and I have been fending for ourselves and enjoying a beautiful early spring weekend with temps in the high 70s.

On Friday night we went to dinner early, around 5:30PM, hoping to get an outside table at Mellow Mushroom. The patio was packed with after-workers and college kids, so we settled for an inside table. After eating half a pie and a small hill of black olives, we took a long walk around the Glenwood South area stopping for ice cream at Turkish Delights.


Today, I strapped the bikes on the back of the van and we drove down to Meredith College to ride the NC Museum of Art trail. The kids love the bike bridge. Fortunately, Leo at three is still light enough to ride in the bike seat. We took a ride, crossed the bridge and then walked through some of the outdoor pieces, that's one in the (Treo phone) photo above. After that, we went inside to walk through the European collection. It was a quick walk. Alex and Linus are old enough to appreciate the paintings, but Leo no so much. Then we made our way home. All and all a very nice way to spend a warm spring afternoon.
