Hamilton at PPAC

Seeing Hamilton
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00212

The night finally arrived. Allison has been waiting to see Hamilton in the theater for such a long time and tonight was the night. When she heard that Hamilton was coming to PPAC she asked if we can get tickets. I said sure and try to get tickets. She was successful. So, we had an early anniversary night out together to see a fantastic show.

Before we headed down to Providence we went over to The Mad Moose Saloon in North Attleboro for dinner. It was a very good meal. We started off with there special Saloon Style Calamari. It was some of the best I’ve ever had.

We had nice seats for the play. Allison was so excited for the play and she had been listening to everything Hamilton related for months. I wanted to go into the play pretty much cold. I had heard of one of the songs about throwing away one’s shot. It wasn’t until I listened to an audible book called Rivals! Frenemies who Changed the World. One chapter was dedicated to Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. It was an interesting chapter and Throwing away a shot has to do with dueling. A Duelist could fire directly into the air and that would be throwing away one’s shot. Of course this is not what the song means but it is interesting as to where that came from. We listened to that chapter after the play.

Leap of Faith

Our adventures in Kentucky continue. Today we started the morning off slowly but made our way over to visit the Purrfect Day Cat Cafe. This is a place where you can go and visit with cats that are in need of adoption. You can also get snacks and drinks there as well. You can take the drinks in with you but not the snacks. I know this because I got a bag of their popcorn but couldn’t eat it until after.

Andrew in Love

There is a large open room that has big windows looking out at the street. There people can see you playing with all of the kittens. We were int he kitten room. Both of the kids loved playing with the 22 little kittens that were inside. This model has really been working for adoptions. They have over 1,100 since 2018. They have also raised a bunch of money for the Kentucky Humane Society from the tips alone.

Eva in Heaven

My sister helps out there by picking up the cats and driving them to the cafe. She’s been doing this for a while and really enjoys it. We all had a lot of fun playing with the little kittens. I had to keep remembering to watch my feet because they were everywhere.

Today were were also able to get some time in at the pool. It is a huge pool at their location and it was filled with so many kids. Our kids had a fun time and it was nice to get in and enjoy the cool water. That came in handy because it was a very warm sunny day.

Family at Fox Hollow Farms

tonight we went to Fox Hollow Farms to see a concert, have dinner from Food trucks and enjoy being outside. Eva and Andrew had a lot of fun. Eva enjoying the much and food. Andrew, by making friends and playing games with several kids his age. There were so many kids there. Andrew fell right in with them and had fun running around and chasing after them. It was a great night and we got out of there in time to avoid the major rainfall.
