Children's Museum and Marie Catribs

Symphonette rehearsal is on Wednesday night and my friend's orchestra concert was on Thursday night, so we thought it best to spend the night at my parent's and hit up the children's museum.  The last time I went was by myself during spring break (which is CRAZY busy) and I really liked the fort display they had and I knew that the kids would have a lot of fun with G.  That Thursday morning my sister came over and we had a nice little run together :)  It's always so much nicer running with someone... and even though we weren't breaking any records we had a nice time talking and being in each other's company.




At the museum the kids did have a lot of fun.  It's always interesting to see what they will be drawn to each visit... and how long we can stay in one place ;)  When we pulled up we saw school buses there, which usually causes us to cringe a little because we know it will be busy and usually pretty chaotic.  However, once we got there and found something to do they were all headed out since it was close to lunch time.  After that we pretty much had the run of the place which was nice.  We played and played until Norah started getting cranky.  We decided that since we were in town and it was past the regular lunch hour that we would try Marie Catribs.
















We still had a little bit of a wait, but it wasn't long and it was definitely worth it.  Of course our crazy kids didn't order off the kid menu but dude wanted a reuban, and Goose wanted shwarma.  I tried something new (I usually get their salmon surprise because it is oh so delicious) but I saw that they had a version of fish tacos and... it is by far my new favorite.  It's light.  It's fresh.  It's got crunch and flavor and spice... and... ::drooling::  Anyhoo, if you ever find yourself there you should order the Bruce Anchor.  You won't be sorry you did.  And if you're anything like me you will have wished you ordered two.

Showing the belly haha

After that we went back to Grandma and Don's house and hung out for a bit and waited for Beaker's senior concert to start.  :)  It was a great two days.
