Birthday week winding down
Can you wind down with a bang?

As Robert’s birthday week of celebrations comes to a close, we took the new Silver Line metro out to Tyson’s Corner.

If you don’t know, Tyson’s Corner is the home of the Lego Store! New this year, Robert brought his own money and a Lego gift card. He was very careful in selecting what he wanted to get. Fortunately, the selection there is impressive.

For those keeping track, he still gravitates to Star Wars sets, but he did a good job looking over the whole store.

Of course you can’t have a trip to the Lego Store without hitting up Wasabi, the Sushi Go-Round just around the corner from the Lego Store.

It’s tempting to say those are all Robert’s plates, but he did have some help making that stack. It’s both tasty and fun (and a bit crowded, especially if you want a table seat).

It seemed clear to us that the new metro line is a good thing for Tyson’s: there were a lot of folks there with the Silver Line pennants they were giving out at the new stations today.

And check out Robert showing off another birthday pressie: his Kindle Paperwhite (thank you Seattlites, and Ian — if you’re no longer counting yourself a Seattlite.)

We successfully delivered two Wimpy Kid books to it today — and Robert promptly read them both. We’ll have to look for something more substantial and get him all wired up to the Alexandria Library’s eBook collection (sorry Amazon).
