Sunday was a gorgeous fall day here in your nation's capital. I had a soccer game in the mid-afternoon, so we spent our morning at home and then set out for a playground in Old Town. After exhausting the slides, the swings, and failing to fly a kite with the success we enjoyed in New Hampshire, we strolled a few blocks to King Street. The city of Alexandria closes off two blocks on the weekends, giving kids an instant asphalt open space. Smart-thinking Mommy brought along a vial of bubbles, and thanks to the prevailing wind currents, Greta had a great time chasing them down the street. They stayed low most of the trip, and took at least 20 seconds to pop. As she chased, Greta would narrate the journey with appropriate, "Oh, oh, oh!" exclamations and periodic factual declarations of, "Bubbles!"
