Enjoy the Weekend!

I just received my Red Tricycle Newsletter.  It is urging that I resist the temptation to stay indoors this weekend.  And while it does focus on things to do in San Francisco, but I think their point applies no matter where you are.

If you don’t subscribe to the Red Tricycle Newsletter, or haven’t had the opportunity to read the latest issue,  here is what they recommend.  

Today

1. Introduce your little ones to jazz music during a pint-sized concert.

2. Get crafting with your whole crew at the Richmond Art Center’s workshop.

3. Cruise up to Tahoe to spend some time skiing, snowboarding and playing in the snow.

4. Grab your golden ticket to see an awesome production of Willy Wonka Jr.

5. Make it a pizza night at a great new Neapolitan-style pizzeria.

6. Celebrate the grand opening of the Presidio Visitor Center with live music, food trucks and tours.

Tomorrow

1. Catch a fun musical rendition of Bye Bye Birdie.

2. Head to the Seymour Marine Discovery Center to make crafts inspired by the ocean.

3. Brunch, anyone? Treat the fam to a special meal at a restaurant with early opening hours.

4. Bundle up to watch a mini production of the Snow Queen.

5. Score free admission to the Academy of Science to hang out with the penguins, fish, alligators and more.

 

Fortunately, in Albuquerque where we live, this weekend will produce good weather.  And while it was quite chilly this morning, it is going to get balmy. 

At times it is so difficult to make the decision to put work down and enjoy life, however, knowing that there are things that need to get done around the house, running errands, returning phone calls, etc.  And therefore, those fun things that I would do if I listened Red Tricycle – “have fun” go to the bottom of the To Do list.  

Well, this weekend I will be making a concerted effort to spend some time outside, and enjoy the beauty that is found outdoors in the Southwest.
