Beautiful Day

I love these unexpected nice days we get sometimes, we ran around town a lot today and enjoyed every second of it. After the library we stumbled upon a ceremony in front of the Basilica- the Archbishop Curley choir and band, plus remarks from Cardinal Keeler and a visit from the French Consul General. We didn't stay for the whole thing, but they had a beautiful day for it. This afternoon I took the kids to the Bocce court to play in the leaves. It's a sorry excuse for a playground, in this neighborhood, but it's all we've got and they had a good time. Then a walk over to Amuse for a birthday present for a party tomorrow. On the way we spotted someone powerwashing the deck at Luigi Petti, and a sign saying opening soon. Luigi Petti had truly terrible food the last time I was there (a few years ago) but it has the best outdoor space in the neighborhood so it would be great if they could get the food right. It was pajama day at school today, so C. was in his pjs for all these adventures which was pretty comical. Tonight we'll be checking out Sammy's Trattoria in Mt. Vernon, I'll be sure to report back. Tomorrow the birthday party and a Blast game-I'm looking forward to both.
