You're Such a Tourist

I moved my mandatory leave schedule up from April/May to this first two weeks of March so that I could accompany RD to school and administer his eye medicine as needed.   The trip to the city takes at least 40 minutes one way so I figured I would just drop by the library or go around the city (or more specifically go window shopping) to pass the time.  

The last time I had to accompany any of my children to school and stay with them was when they were in kindergarten.  We've come a long way since then.

As we were leaving the Con on Friday, I stopped to take a picture of the school's sign and the shadow the afternoon sun had cast on the wall.

RD found it awkward yet funny.  He commented, "You're such a tourist, Mom."

If I was going to be tourist-y anyway then I wanted him in the photo so I asked him to pose under the sign.    I think this he didn't find funny, just awkward, but he did it anyway.

We are so proud that he got into the Con.  I think I'll ask him to have an annual photo taken at this spot every first week of classes.

(BTW, he already has a hundred FB likes for this photo.)
