We've had a fun Ann Arbor weekend so far. Last night we went to Top of the Park, part of the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. Several weeks of free bands, good food, and activities for the kids. Last night we saw two bands, My My My, a Chicago band, and My Dear Disco, whose members are from the Ann Arbor area. Seeing a band play live is enjoyable no matter what kind of music they play. I might even be willing to watch a country band play live. (Bluegrass is acceptable.)
J and I really like the pizza from Silvio's, an organic and specialty pizza place near UM's campus, and they had a booth there, so we bought some slices. We don't necessarily care about the organic part, but the pizza is really good. Then the boys had ice cream from Stucchi's, another Ann Arbor-born company.
This morning we went to the Farmer's Market, and on the way home we went to Zingerman's to get J a coffee drink.
So far, so good for the weekend.

Watching the videos at the following links is relaxing for me. I envy those with the skill to do something so difficult while making it look routine.

I'd like to see her do a "D" or an "O" next time.
