Sunny Day Outing

The other day Jackson and I braved the Summer heat and hoped in Roark, air conditioning on high, the perfect mix pumping through the speakers, and off we were to Baldwin's Book Barn! I picked up some Goosebumps books and more Dominick Dunne as well as Joan Didion's Blue Nights. Jackson, the world's most boring eight year old, picked a book about Gettysburg, one on flowers (that he found in a teeny tiny safe), and then one by a retired Navy Seal. (Insert eye rolling emoji here.) But we had fun and lovely Fred was there to ring us up with a smile hidden behind his mask. It was the first time Jax and I got to go out together all year.

(I couldn't believe he remembered the stairs from our last trip and we recreated the photo.)
