School Projects

By
Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place.

Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton.

We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today.

OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work.

If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble.

Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.

There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
