Day Forty Seven

Meghan is currently reading Blue Balliett's series that starts with Chasing Vermeer.  I read this books a few years ago because they take place in our neighborhood and because I vaguely knew the author.  So this afternoon after having been at home all day, we headed out for a Chasing Vermeer/Wright 3 tour of the neighborhood.  We finished up with dinner at Edwardo's, but that wasn't part of the tour.

Today's Academics:
  • Book tour of the neighborhood
Meghan's Current Book(s):
  • The Wright 3, by Blue Balliett
Rachel's Current Book(s):
  • Francis I, by R.J. Knecht
Today's Images:
