Spring Break '18: Wednesday in the Park: I Think We'll Have to Go and Get Dry

Daphne had it all planned out. On Wednesday morning we'd follow the streets lined with notable Victorian homes, stop at a park where Char could play, and then have lunch. She just didn't plan on the rain.

That was okay, we weren't going to let some water get in our way.

Wet, steep hills are even harder to climb than dry, steep hills.

Here's the park. You'd think it would be crawling with kids, but it was empty because of the rain.

That meant that one kid, who was "too old" to play at parks, had run of the place.

Sure, you can play with the water. You're already wet.

Umm, that's gonna make your pants really, umm, never mind.

When it was time to go, the blue skies started to make their way towards us.

When the rain stopped, Char noticed this sign. She thought it was funny; I thought it was probably necessary.

Lunch was an unplanned stop at Dino Santino's.

"You, young lady, are going to eat every bite of that garic and clam pizza. And you are going to like it!"

Yeah, right. There's no way Char would eat that. Daphne and I did, though. I can count the number of times I've had clam pizza on one finger, but this was awesome. I would rank this in my top five pizzas of all time. 

After lunch Daphne spotted a bakery, Sift, across the street. Dessert time is nigh!

I had the Stud Muffin. You are what you eat.

Daphne picked the Irish Dream, and Charlotte had the Lemony Snicket. (Char can't wait for A Series of Unfortuante Events to return to Netflix on 3/30.) 

The cups are complimentary. 

No wonder the cupcakes were so good.

We do a lot of research on what are the "best" places to visit before we take a vacation. But if we only went to the places that made the "Top Ten" lists, we wouldn't have found Dino's or Sift. True, we wouldn't have known what we were mising, but we would have missed a lot.
