fridate

today is a breezy bright blue sky day in central virginia. the birds are singing and the crocus flowers are blooming. it's the kind of day that makes one want to jump in the car and road-trip off to tennessee or north carolina. but i suppose one shouldn't do that when one has to report to work by 4:30 in the afternoon.

so instead tashi and i are going to have a downtown mall kind of day. sometimes i hate calling it the downtown mall because images of a parking lot surrounding a large blocky building with sears on one end and jcpenney on the other might come to mind.

charlottesville's downtown mall is a charming pedestrian mall that, when in full swing, is lively with buskers, outdoor eateries, tibetan vendors, artisans and browsers.

so today we're going to head downtown and start our day off with the public library, and then have a little lunch, and then maybe check out a gallery or two.

a perfect date for a mother and daughter.
