Creating Diversions

We had a nice outing to the city today, mostly so I could show Dave the couch I want us to buy (more on that later, I hope.) We also took Clio to the old standard noodle joint in Union Square, Republic- turns out she loves pad thai and vegetable dumplings, but is not so sure about chopsticks. (Btw, chicken pad thai is up to $11. So much for this being the cheap standby!)
On our way back to the car, we stopped in to Paragon, a mega-sports retailer, so Dave could pick up a special hat to wear under his bike helmet and keep his noggin warm when he rides to work. (Dave is very, very fond of specialized equipment of all kinds, for any and all hobbies. He also likes to thoroughly research said equipment, so I was shocked to actually walk out of the store with a purchase.)

At any rate, while he investigated the selection upstairs, Clio and I kept ourselves busy at the hat rack, trying on designer golf hats, taking pictures, and checking ourselves out in the viewfinder.




Doesn't she kind of look like the Olsen Twins, circa Full House in this last one? When she started trying to take the tags off all the hats, it was time to move on. (She didn't think so: "Don't do that Mommy, don't do that!!")
