We had a really good day today. We went downtown to the Y, and I got in my little workout, and then I took the girls for a walk down to the waterfront since it was a gorgeous day and they're predicting rain for later this week. Nora posed in front of a mermaid statue (Norfolk's public art project...there are mermaid statues all over the city, all decorated differently). On our way back to the car, we discovered a heart spray painted on a bush, and a cool restaurant called the Pagoda Garden tucked away in the historic Freemason District. It's literally a pagoda, surrounded by a landscaped garden, pond and water fountains. Quite an oasis. The girls loved looking at the fountains and going over the bridge. It's closed on Mondays, so I'm looking forward to going back there to eat some other day. After that, we came home for a late lunch and Caroline took a nap while Nora and I practiced learning how to read from her "Bob" Books (books from Grandma and Grandpa). Then, the doorbell rang around 3 p.m. and I was surprised to receive the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers from Mike! I got Nora to capture the moment with the camera. Thank you, Mike - they are beautiful! We had dinner at the Smith's tonight (Taylor's house), which was lovely...good conversation, good wine, a Disney movie playing in the background, punctuated by the occasional toy fight or Caroline attempting to eat from the cat's bowl.
