Spring Break
The only way to keep Dave from working is to physically remove him from temptation, so we decided to head down to Charlottesville to visit with his parents. Henry came down with a cold the Friday before we were supposed to leave. We briefly contemplated canceling the trip, but since his runny nose wasn't damping his spirits at all, we decided to go after all. Best decision we could have made because the three full days we were there, the temperatures were in the upper-70's. Of course, we drove into a snowstorm on the way home, but it was totally worth it.
We took Henry to a Japanese steak house for lunch on Tuesday. A chef came out and cooked at our table whatever it was Dave had ordered. Because Henry was overdue for his nap, he was a bit grumpy so we were worried the big bursts of flames from the grill would frighten him, but he was completely enthralled. Gape-mouthed enthralled. The chef also razzle-dazzled him by spinning and tossing around an egg which he eventually cracked and cooked for some fried rice. It was a lot of fun. Henry ate some miso-soaked tofu and two pieces of tamago. Next time we're in town, we're definitely going back.
