there’s really only one thing to do in columbus ohio on columbus day with a toddler…take her down to the replica of the santa maria and try to fill her tiny brain with the knowledge of christobo columbo while she screams at you that she wants to go in the port-a-potty “just to see what it looks like.”

our bike ride this evening was borderline magical. i think we passed a unicorn in the audubon park. we paused along the scioto to see the pink fluffy clouds reflecting on the river. i hope darla will remember this evening in some little recess of her brain for the rest of her life.
