Well, not exactly. I had to pick up papers at Columbus State and Abby and Zach came along for the ride. The concept of me doing something other than writing and editing from home is still very new and neither had been to campus yet.
They seemed genuinely interested in seeing where I worked. I think Zach was expecting the classrooms to be more like those at their elementary school. He seemed a little disappointed at the lack of colorful wall decor until I played a Cars2 YouTube video from the projector mounted on the ceiling. I earned some serious first grade street cred pretty quickly.
As we were leaving one of the classrooms, Zach ran to the board and wrote "Hi students. Have fun." Then he put a math problem (100+100= ____) underneath his message, presumably so my students would have something interesting to do in class.
We ate dinner in the cafeteria and, because it's pretty hard to compete with the robots and laboratories at Daddy's work, I let them get whatever they wanted. Both were a little awestruck at the array of choices. After a few elevator rides and climbing on the big Christopher Columbus statue in the center of campus, we headed home. In the car Zach said from the back seat, "This has been a really good day." "Why's that?" I asked. "First I played pyramid ball in gym. Then we got to see where you work. And now there's a full moon."
