Last night was the lighting of the Christmas tree at Newport on the Levee. The grands always enjoy that huge tree with the lights and accompanying music. And yesterday was the last day of school before Thanksgiving break. Perfect.
We planned to go and have pizza at Dewey's, but were told that there was an hour wait for a table. Not acceptable to hungry kids. We went across the building to Bar Louis instead.
Lots of others did the same, I think, and the wait for food was long, but we had ordered some pretzel appetizers and there was basketball on tv. The grands discussed that this was their first time in a bar, although in fact it is a restaurant/bar and there were lots of other kids there.
Then it was on to Barnes and Noble, where Nora loves to browse around and Aaron tries to be patient with all that browsing. There was no line at Cold Stone Creamery, a rarity, and both kids had ice cream.
We hit the high points and had a fun evening. Their mom got lots of Thanksgiving cooking done in their absence. All good.
