Train Ride!

We decided to catch the Metro to meet my sister, our mom, and some friends out in L.A. for lunch. Everyone was supposed to get there at 1230pm. Unfortunately, from our area, that was going to be impossible. The only train that left remotely close to that time left at 907am! Thankfully - oh yes, thank you God so very much! - Baby Girl slept last night like she hasn't slept in the last couple of nights. I'm chalking it up to the homemade Vick's Vapor Rub and lots of prayer. Prayers of healing, rest, and peace. We all got to sleep last night. She still has some major sneezes and some coughing, but she is feeling better.


Anyway, yes, we had to arrive in L.A. in the 10 o'clock hour. It was okay. It gave us some much needed family time during a very busy week at the church. We got off the train and then took the Red Line. All this means something to my husband because he absolutely loves public transportation. He sees it a challenge to comprehend schedules, stops, here's and there's. Once he has accomplished this then the next step is to use it to go everywhere possible. This morning we took it to the Financial District. 


We ate crepes for breakfast. Mine had sugar, sugar, and more sugar. His had apples. Crepes are my new favorite thing to eat. I love them! Then we walked a block or two to the public library. I wish I could live in a library and this one, I think, I could actually do just that. It has plenty of bathrooms, comfy places to rest, and a Panda Express. How much better can life get? We got there just in time to visit the children's literature section and participate in story time. The theme was noises, which was perfect for Baby Girl. She was fixated on the storyteller as she made the noises of rain, drums, and other instruments. 


It was a fun day.

Super serious waiting for the train.

Children's section...gorgeous!
