Last night, we took you on your first "official" outing. You participated in another outing(Two Fridays ago) but that was just to your doctor's appointment. Nothing eventful about it. They weighed you(you gained 4 oz). You peed on a nurse(I jest not). Your mother asked the doctor questions and that was about it.
That is why I yesterday was real deal.
And where did we choose to take you on your first evening out in Milwaukee? A play? No. A movie? Not even close. An academic lecture on global warming? Not yet.
We took you too a fish fry!
Your mom, as well as your grandparents, picked me up from the train station and we went out to eat at Serb Hall. I could tell you the history of this place but I don't know much about it except for the most important fact that they have a fish fry buffet every Friday! WOO-HOO!!! They have all kinds of fried fish. I'd name them but I don't even remember their names. All I know is that what they serve previously swam in an ocean or a lake and through various wonders of the American workforce it is now fried.
The atmosphere is quite interesting. When you walk in, it looks and feels like you walked into a hall that the 1950's forgot. Also. The waitresses are quite nice(they remind me of the cafeteria ladies at my elementary school). It usually isn't too packed. And the desserts are always great(Last night, they had pumpkin pie!).
Afterwards, we took you too Leon's for custard. Now, if there is ever a place I could go everyday it's Leon's. It's even possible since they are open all year round. Even on those days when the snow is piled up high all over the streets, Leon's is dishing out the custard. AND. There is always a line. That's how good it is. (HISTORICAL NOTE: Leon's, open since 1942, is supposedly the place that Arnold's Drive-in from HAPPY DAYS is modeled after.)
And even though you were surrounded by all this fun and excitement, you were asleep the whole time. :) I guess it didn't help that we had you in the car seat and I already told you what happens when we put you in there. Droopy eyes. Heavy breathing. Then, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
In other news, today is Halloween and this is how you wanted to be dressed. :)
(NOTE: Your not looking at the camera because you are staring at the colors on your Dr. Seuss blanket. Your mom says that when you are not staring at the cork board map, you are staring at this. Can't wait to find out what your favorite color is.)
Happy Halloween.
Love.
Dad.
