Bowie Baysox Baseball - with a Dog!

Route One Hubs here. (Yes, you can guess who came up with this catchy moniker....) From time to time, as part of my campaign for husband of the year, I take the kids out for a few hours so the Route One Fun maestro can get some work done on this here blog. I call these outings our "adventures" and this is the story of one of those adventures. I hope to chronicle a few more as time goes by.

Kids Eat Free!

Free!  No word sounds sweeter to my big ears than "free!" Except maybe when you say "free meal!" Then I'm off the charts!  Because you see, free dinner makes me a dangerous lady with some money in my pocket; keep up!  Thank you, Bruno.

Community Forklift's First Fridays

On the first Friday of each month over the summer from 6-8pm, Community Forklift stays open late to throw a party for those adventurous enough to answer its invitation (read: you and me and everybody)!  If you're not familiar with Community Forklift yet, know that it's an awesomely huge warehouse of salvaged building materials.  By accepting donations of unwanted building materials, they keep tons of materials out of landfill and their Home Essentials Program provides free building materials, appliances, furniture and more to local families in need.  Likewise, many of their goods have fantastic vintage flair, so also a treat to explore the aisles and get inspiration on fun, new ways to renovate and style your nest.
