cinco de mayo, derby day and date night all in one! now that's some kind of day!! we had a relaxing day at home since brooke's soccer game was cancelled for the second week in a row. i sat in my office this afternoon with the window open, and i could smell a charcoal grill being fired up somewhere in the not too far distance. it took me right back to my grandparents' house in the summertime. they had a small patio at the very back of their yard, and it had a built-in stone grill (i think). i can remember my grandpa grilling us dinner in the summertime. mmm... that smell. grandpa always used a lot of lighter fluid :) i love how a smell can transport you to a very specific time in your life... childhood. summertime. family.
this evening we dropped the kids off with mom and stopped downtown for dinner in OTR. we walked into bakersfield as soon as the derby was going off (literally). i was happy we got to see the race and even happier that there wasn't much of a wait for dinner :) we sat in the front of the restaurant with the windows/door pulled up and enjoyed the perfect evening, perfect company and the perfect margarita!
