Today was first day of school - so we decided to call in sick and go on a play journey instead...
Not really Gus has been exempted from school for another two weeks, because he is heading back for another 8 days of Tomatis therapy, but since therapy won't start until Wednesday and since I had the day off (though the laundry sat and the sink stayed full) we decided to head out on a playful journey a la Gus since it was one of those rare North Carolina breezy but sunny late summer drowsy days.
First we went to Holmes Educational State Park, a wonderful small pocket park in between Brevard and Hendersonville, where old Forest Fire weapons go to retire in a lush green, trails-framed pasture with lots of educational plaques...among Gus' favorites is a 1963 Huey Helicopter, that saw action in Vietnam and flew through many wildfires before it became a plaything and possibly Gus' very favorite object in this world.
Next we went to Pack Square, where Splashville reigns the universe of all kids who come here to cool off, while the parents get a chance to just sit and enjoy a beautiful late summer day.
I forgot to take pictures at Cafe Europe on Broadway in Asheville, where Gus ate a fabulous Banana Chocolate Cupcake, while I drank a real cup of coffee - in a porcelain cup with (!!!) saucer...lovely...Gus had a great time with the gilt framed mirrors, mugging and admiring himself while he ate his cupcake.
I also forgot to bring the camera when we stopped at the mall, where I got a few new pieces for my sluggish wardrobe, while Gus sat nicely in the stroller and chatted with the bored sales ladies...
We got a juice, then rode the escalator until we could ride no more...seriously...
...one good day...
