Field Trip Day!

Boo's class is headed for the Louisville Zoo, and I'm sporting my soccer mom/field trip Mom finest of black knit capris, a blue t-shirt and school sweatshirt. And Crocs. Because all Moms wear Crocs.

She's riding a bus for the first time today, too -- Bill will be meeting her at 10 and I'll be heading over around lunchtime.

I remember field trips downtown that inevitably ended at the old Galleria (we had a Bennetton! In the 80s! When Bennetton was still cool!). Somehow, field trips have gotten lamer in recent years, and our school system is citing explosive fuel costs as a factor that might cut them even more in coming school years. Poor Boo -- she starts kindergarten in the fall and won't get to experience the wonder of the Blue Apple Players and the galleria food court much.
