We (Lydia and I... ok, mostly I) live for Saturday when Daddy is home and we get to do lots of fun things. This weekend we decided to act like tourists. Actually, Brandon had a hankerin' to climb a tower so we headed for downtown in search of a Prague High-Point. First we had to refuel with some coffee and I think we found our new favorite caffeine distributor... Coffee Heaven. (That's actually the name!) And it was SO good!!! They even served almost-American sized beverages. After a shot of caffeine we headed for the clock tower. We had to take an elevator to the 3rd floor and buy tickets and then... Yippee! Another elevator took us all the way to the top. Brandon was a bit disappointed that we didn't actually climb but I was secretly breathing a sigh of relief the whole way up. Lydia seemed moderately amused. I doubt she has any concept of heights, but she was quiet and did like to look down. Just so we weren't completely lazy Americans, we did walk back DOWN the tower but it was a ramp the whole way so I didn't even have to break a sweat.
Afterwards we headed to nearby Riverside School (remember the PTA ladies?). They had their summer fair and we decided to stop by. They had kids games, face painting, bake sale, grilled hot dogs... typical fair stuff. Lydia was oblivious to all of this and preferred playing in the sandbox. Could've just gone to the park I suppose.
