When: April 21 (Easter) // Weather: 70 and sunny // Real life: walk on the canal and dinner on a patio
The first great patio day is an important holiday around here. I like to say I put up with the Midwest winters because they make the other seasons more special. That first spring day when you get to feel the sun on your skin again (in moderation, with sunscreen) after months of hibernation are so freaking glorious.
This year, the first great patio day happened to fall on Easter, so while everyone else was in church and hanging with their families, we heathens enjoyed a nice walk along the downtown canal, followed by a delicious al fresco meal at Hedge Row. There were no crowds, no shoppers, just a nice sunny Sunday afternoon. Perfect for celebrating rebirth, whatever that means to you.
(Oh, P.S. HEY MOMS (especially mine). HAPPY DAY TO YOU.)
