Got to the Decks!

I finally made it to Poco's for dinner with my family. We headed down to Portsmouth tonight to have dinner on the decks. It was a great evening - sunny with a nice ocean breeze. The kids enjoyed themselves and I enjoyed one, yes only one, Blue Moon Margarita.

After dinner we went to the Mall for back-to-school shopping. We had great luck at Old Navy but then spent way too much money on school supplies at Staples. School supplies have gone high-end now and are far too fashionable. But maybe my parents felt that way when I wanted the good ol' Mead Trapper Keeper. When I was Jacob's age, I also think I spent a small fortune on stickers -Lisa Frank, Mrs. Grossman, etc. My sister and I had hundreds of stickers and would venture out each weekend to buy more. But I digress, here is a picture of the great dinner on the decks.



And for those of who you also grew up in the 80's, here are some memories:

The famous Lisa Frank unicorn sticker, the "must-have" Trapper Keeper, and one of the thousands of Mrs. Grossman stickers!
