Hitting the big city means theatre plays, coffee houses, art galleries, subway rides, street artists...........or staying way laid up in a hotel room (a very tiny hotel room) with three very sick kids. Maybe we should have stayed home?
No. What could we have done differently at home, but stay in our regular beds, in our regular surroundings being sick. The visit to this metropolis makes the sick experience more exciting, more urban. That and it really is nice to have my husband come in from his training course and give us an empathetic smile during his breaks. At home I would have been by myself in the house for 3 days with 3 coughing, fevered children and two big dogs (ours and the extra one next door that we would be dog sitting).
We did get out some yesterday to ride the subway, visit with my cousin, go to a bookstore, eat our favourite burritos at Chipolte Mexican Grill but it was pretty apparent that the boys really just needed to be under the covers and resting their poor heads. So much for utilizing this opportunity to expose them to the culture and arts this trip was going to include. They have been on the bed most of the time sleeping or playing their hand held video games or watching the tv (thank goodness they like reno shows :D)
Although........my cousin does have his own hip hop/rap recording company so they were exposed to people that deal in the arts and there is no way to avoid the culture of our province's capital when you are out and about and riding the subway. Not a complete bust. If we can only make to Potted Potter tonight it may even be considered a success.
