Saturday was Free Comic Book Day. We took Henry to Dragon’s Lair for a few free comics. We picked up a few for ourselves including a compilation book with a short Milk and Cheese (p.s. the link appears to be broken at the moment) story. It was also election day in Austin. We elected a new mayor and some city council seats. Mary and I actually went and voted. The outcome was pretty much a forgone conclusion and Will Wynn was elected as expected.
We also had tickets to the matinee performance of Cirque Du Soleil’s Alegria. It was the first time to a Cirque performance for all of us. We brought Lily and Henry. Henry was just old enough to get into it and Lily slept most of the performance, allowing Mary and I to enjoy the whole thing. I highly recommend going to a performance if you have a chance despite the rather high ticket prices. I’ve passed on seeing O and Mystere on my trips to Vegas over the past few years, but I’m definitely not going to miss O the next time I’m there. We finished the day off with dinner at Hoover’s (great food despite their crap website). Both kids were amazingly well behaved, although Lily did manage to dump Mary’s entire drink into both their laps just as we were finishing eating.
Sunday was yoga for Mary, basketball for me, and trips to Sam’s, Target, and Central Market for all four of us, making it painfully obvious that we need a bigger car.
