Sunset at St. Edward's ParkToday, we embarked on another urban adventure in our vicinity. Alex, Ari, Lisa, and I headed to the Pike Place Market this morning. We had crumpets for breakfast and mosied through the market stalls. Lisa was on the lookout for honey. Ari needed to check out the used book store, and Alex had his sights set on checking out the trivia shop. I needed spices and jalepeno peppers. Along the way, we found the humbow stand (I lived on those in my college days) and the French bakery (can you say chocolate croissant?).
Since traveling over the passes is iffy this time of year, we are planning more urban adventures over the rest of fall and winter. It's lots of fun planning them with the kiddles, and it prevents the seasonal stir-crazies.
In other news, we spent the rest of the day at home doing homey things, reading stories, playing games, and cooking together. It was a very comfy fall afternoon.
We tried a new fruit for dinner - persimmons. We'd never tried them before. I don't think they were as ripe as they should be. Ari and I immediately got the dry, tongue sticking to the roof of your mouth syndrome. Next time, we'll let them ripen up a few more days. Pass the water please.
