Jonas took his first trip to Boulder yesterday, a city that holds special meaning to Mom and Dad. It's the city where they first met and the city where they got married, and they had a fun time exploring it from a whole new perspective with their new addition. Inevitably, lots of things have changed. Mom and Dad were sad to see their favorite Italian restaurant gone, and their favorite Mexican restaurant, too. Even the newspaper where Dad worked downtown has left its building. But plenty of fun things remain, and Jonas had to get a good lunch in before we got too far. Of course, it didn't take long for him to get distracted by some real-life girls at the next table...
...after lunch, Jonas got to check out the Boulder Farmer's Market and posed for a shot with Mom outside the historic teahouse...
...but it was the shops on Pearl Street that seemed to catch his attention, especially a toy store called Into the Wind, where he could stare at kites on the ceiling and marvel at all the things for sale...
...Mom even had some fun with the Big Guy, courtesy of a funny dolphin toy...
...Jonas scored pretty good at Into the Wind. He exited with a toy drum, some jingle bells, a maraca and a new ball that he played with the whole way home to cap off a perfect afternoon in a very special place.
