Something adult-like
Me: Do you wanna hit up the Morgan Library and Museum?
Her: Is it a museum or a sit and read kinda place?
Me: I think a little of both? It’s been ages since I was there last. I forgot who I even went with
Whenever the boys are away, the Firecracker and I scramble to do something adult-like since we always have factor in entertaining the kids otherwise.
We didn’t really have any set plans so just randomly got tickets to the Morgan Library and Museum.
I was coming in from dropping the kid off in Jersey so we met outside the museum.
It was a quick line so we were inside in no time.
Me: Crazy that someone once lived here.
Her: I think that this is actually an enclosed courtyard – I think these are two separate buildings they combined.
Me: Whoa, I think you’re right. (shaking head) Man, that is a crazy amount of scratch this dude had.
The actual library stuff was like something outta a movie.
Her: I’m waiting for Belle from Beauty and the Beast to show up with a book in her hand.
Me: Of course you are.
Her: Listen, I’m whimsical and romantic. There’s nothing wrong with that.
She even found some really cool Dickens and Chinese stuff.
Side-by-side to boot!
We also went to the mezzanine to admire the view – again, this was someone’s house once (or at least the outdoor space of someone’s house).
Wild.
It was gorgeous inside but there really wasn’t all that much to do so we spent probably an hour there at most.
Me: I’m ready to eat.
Her: Me too!
We walked a few blocks and ended up at this relatively empty Persian joint called Miraj Healthy Grill.
While they had some odd decoration choices…
…the food itself was on point.
Her: Man, the number of pictures I have of you with that face.
Me: I can’t help it – I love food.
I not only ate everything on my plate, I ate everything on hers. The food was excellent.
Me: OMG, I’m so full.
Her: Wow, you never say that.
Afterwards, we took the long way home and enjoyed a nice night out as two adults.
Me: Did you have a good night?
Her: Were you there? Then yes.
Me: (laughing) Thanks, I’ll take it.
Location: court, again.
Mood: annoyed
Music: drinking in the dark, I don’t know where I wanna go (Spotify)
