Day started off grand. Nice and cool. Watched some soccer on the telly. Poor old Portsmouth…looking like they might never win this season.
There was a lot happening in Central Arkansas today. First on our plate was the Hillcrest Harvest Festival. I didn’t see much in the way of harvest…but there was a lot of festival. The weather was perfect and Bex was in great spirits. His school had a booth and was selling beer(!) as a way to raise funds. How cool is that? Well, I think it’s great that his school is progressive enough to not be concerned with the sale of beer. Besides, it goes to a good cause: all the kids at Bex’s school. I managed to choke down a Bud in support of the cause.
In addition to the festival, there was an antique auto show. As many of you know, Bex is all about things that go and he has an burgeoning appreciation for fine design and aesthetics. Thus, the auto show was like crack to him. To make matters even more insatiable for the little guy, there was a fire truck that he could play on. It’s clearly a glorious day.
After the fun of Harvest Fest, we ventured to the Clinton Center for the disappointing WorldFest. Mostly disappointing to the adults since it was clearly winding down. However the Bex was undeterred and enjoyed running around the grounds and splashing in the fountains.
Finally…late lunch at one of my absolute favorite casual dining places: The Flying Burrito. I know you may think that wrap and burrito places are a dime a dozen, but this is my favorite. No place I’ve encountered makes them as good. The Bex was not too hungry, preferring to sip is drink and watch the cars and people travel by our sidewalk accessible seats.
Seriously…a much needed, good day. Now…Time to watch Arkansas lose. My prediction: AR – 30 / AL – 40.
