With only 9 days left in the school year I am really looking forward to taking some time off and re-charging the old battery. Vacation will come a little early with the Memorial Day Holiday tipping off this weekend. Jess and I still have lots of things to do for the wedding but I hope to convince her that we can take some time off to do a few fun things around the city.
Since Stevo and Jazz love carnivals and festivals we might look into the Mesita elementary bash taking place on Saturday. The 70's group Fungi Mungle (Jazzy likes them cause they rock big afro's) will play the event starting at 5pm. The school is located on 3307 N. Stanton.
If we can get a babysitter (fingers and toes crossed) I plan to take Jess to the Champagne Festival on Saturday night. The festival will be at Grace Gardens on the West Side and will have Radio La Chusma playing on Saturday night.
Setting the alarm early to watch the hot air balloons take off on Saturday morning. We have never been to the KLAQ balloonfest so this should be something new that we might make into a tradition. The balloons launch at 6:30 on Saturday from grace Gardens. Jess is really going to think I am crazy for wanting to get up that early.
Teen Fest, sponsored by the El Paso Public Libraries , will be held on Saturday at Cohen Stadium from 12-6pm. Free car show and activities for the kids. Worth checking out even though Stevo and Jazz are nowhere near being teenagers (thank you Lord).
Red Herring will open this week at the El Paso Playhouse and would make a great way to spend a Sunday with Jess. The show is being directed by Melissa Spaulding and features a lot of my friends, who also happen to be great actors. The Playhouse is located on 2501 Montana.
Jam-packed weekend, and I didn't even mention the 5k race (Run Tony Run) that I want to sign up for on Saturday. I hope to get a chance to spend a great weekend with my family doing a ton of different things. El Paso has a lot going on if you are willing to open your eyes and look.
Life is Good.
