A Dad and His Dude

So what are Freeman and Hamilton up to when they've got time together? All kinds of things.

This Saturday morning was something we've not done in a while--Daddy and Dude day (a.k.a. Jenny says "please-get-the-baby-out-of-the-house-so-I-can-finally-sleep" day).

We spent the morning traveling by bus (the #62 to the #22) up to the north side of the city. Some of you will recognize the State Street/14th Place stop:Once we got to the north side, we went to one of Freeman's favorite places, Reckless Records:Hamilton was helpful in looking for good records and compact discs, and we managed to find two out-of-print CD singles to pick up. Hamilton really enjoyed watching all of the people flip through the vinyl and the music that was playing. After that, we walked down Broadway to stop in to CVS looking for coupons for Jenny.

Then, on to lunch at Chipotle. I had the barbacoa burrito, Hamilton ate some banana. He also found much entertainment in climbing all over the wooden bench we sat on and attempting to scale the seat back to touch some shiny metal just beyond his reach. To cap it off, he was able to chew on a napkin while climbing and found himself being fawned over by the restaurant staff. What a time we had.After that, we went down Clark Street to the eyeglass store to get an adjustment on Freeman's glasses, and then back home via the CTA. A great day out for 2/3 of Team Whitney!
