Nana in the House! And We're Out!

We're happy to welcome our guest for the week ... Nana! (Otherwise known as my Mom.)

We picked her up on Thursday morning and have been showing her some sights -- though we've been slowed by two days of rain.

Dave and I have been taking full advantage of having some babysitting ... so last night we went to Potsdamer Platz for a movie -- in English at the CiniStar! (Don't see "The Good Guys" unless you're in a foreign country with few choices.) We also ate at an Australian restaurant in the Sony Center there. Hamburger in our choice of beef, chicken or kangaroo! (Eh?)

Today, we peeled out after nap for some shopping along Freidrick Strasse. It was drizzling rain but that didn't stop us from finding some cute souvenirs and Hello Kitty PJs for Leah. Also, I bought a controversial sweater that no one likes but me. (Whatever.) For dinner, we stopped at a Tai place called Cha Cha, with a waiter we'll be talking about for months to come. In short, he was so timid, I thought he might faint while taking our order.

It's been nice to sit in a restaurant and not anticipating the next 2-year-old tantrum. Thanks, Mom!
