around town

Junie and I were on the go all day yesterday. Here's the day in pictures, with a few words thrown in:

We didn't last long at the farmer's market because of the humidity, but June still had time to sit in the trees...







From there we headed to The Museum of Life and Science. Our friends Aaron and his mom, Mary, were there as well. Here they are getting lost in the clouds...





Junie spinning another exhibit...



and finally in the new soundSpace exhibit...



We then had lunch at Tyler's. Here's a gratuitous grilled cheese shot...



After a monster three hour nap, we took the bus from Duke's east campus over to the football stadium on west campus. Duke hosted James Madison, but it didn't qualify as June's first football game because we left well before kickoff (the game didn't start until 8:30pm due to thunder and lightning). Nevertheless, June enjoyed playing in the bleachers and watching the teams warm-up on the field...



We strolled back over to Duke Chapel and caught the return bus to east campus. These were her first bus rides and she loved them. The bus traveled the same route that we often run together, and she recognized the scenery. When we went through the "tunnel" (it's really just a very wide underpass), she raised her arms and screamed, just like she does in the jogging stroller. Nobody on the bus seemed to mind...



Duke hosts Northwestern next weekend for a gridiron battle royale. The game starts at 7pm, so I'm not sure if June will be in attendance. I'd rather her first game be in Green Bay, but Duke vs. Northwestern might have to do.
