decided to make a quick trip to Raleigh to coincide with Samuel running a cross-country race in Cary...
there's ALWAYS something going on in the capital city,
and this weekend was no different:
 |
| as a lover of shoes, especially comfortable shoes, this excites me! |
 |
| oooooh, sparkles! |
with two sleepy teenagers
(one had been up since 5am due to an early XC race),
our pace was slow & a little less animated than is typical.
 |
| checking out the chalk murals with a little aerial fun in the background |
 |
| the eye of the crow is magnificent! |
a downtown software business called Red Hat
hosted a little hotbed of tech stuff,
which (in turn) was hosted by
a group called The Forge.
 |
| Nana and Joseph check out some circuitry |
 |
| Joseph, Grandpa, & Samuel check out a 3D printer |
very.very.very
slowly
soooooo....
i really have no idea
what this is, exactly.
it looked like a code of some sort?
they made a reference to something called
if that helps any of you.
didn't help me!
this one used two Kinects
to translate movement into, um, well....
whatchamacallits.
and, then, there was this one.
where you chased a green square
around a screen
trying to capture it
with your ever-growing
rainbow snake.
possibly the best toy, however,
were the Fiat beachballs
the boys got when i provided
valuable demographic information
that might (just might, they say!)
win me a new car.
and the best game
was this one of Trivial Pursuit
played with their grandparents
& made incredibly challenging
due to the fact that it was purchased in 1987,
rendering all categories
as Ancient History.
not shying away from squeezing in
just one more
Big City oooh-la-la,
we walked down the street
to see some aerial dancers on the side of a building!

| Bandaloop |
kinda have to take a video
when people are dancing
on the side of a building.
that's all, folks
