The Minnow takes DC

Dear Minnow,
           Saturday your daddy took us out on the town for date night. He is very good at planning dates and making us feel special from time to time :-). Saturday we took the metro into DC to see Hair at the Kennedy Center! It was your first trip to the theatre, as an audience memeber at least. Truth be told, in just the time you have spent in my belly you have already spent more time in the theatre than most adults spend in their whole lifetime. We generally spend around 8 hours a day working at one theatre or another (between the high school, univeristy and the middle school).Anyways, back to our date with daddy, we rode the metro into the city and had a wonderful lunch on the roof top terrace at the Kennedy Center before the show. Mommy may have forgotten to tell daddy what the play was about (hippies, lots of hippies) and that the actors run out into the audience and dance and climb over seats...needless to say he was more than a little suprised when the actor playing Berger climbed through the audience in nothing but a loincloth (he had gotten us second row seats). The expression on his face was priceless! After the show we met your auntie Gina at her apartment to help her get ready for the military ball and then went to dinner at my favorite resturant, a tapas place called Julieo. Dinner was great, we ate tons! Then we picked up a few cupcakes at Red Velvet and heading home to snuggle on the couch and watch a movie. It was such a nice date night! Oh, your daddy bought you a present, a collection of the original Winnie the Pooh stories. He says it is the first thing he is going to read to you :-). That made mommy's heart melt, in the good way. I love you my little minnow, keep growing strong.

                               Love,
