Apple Store Opening
We took the kids to the grand opening of the new Apple Store in Reston, VA today, fully indoctrinating them into the Apple cult. It was quite an adventure – standing in line for almost an hour with 500+ other people waiting for the store to open so we could get the coveted ‘free t-shirt’.
We had the kids dressed in their “I void warrantees” t-shirts, while Lorna and I also wore geek-appropriate shirts. There were plenty of photos taken… some by the Apple employees themselves… I’m watching Flickr to see if any get posted.
One of the fun things about being a parent of multiples is the instant kinship you find with other multiple parents. Walking back to our car, we met a mother of 1 year old twins who had all kinds of questions for us about sleep habits, eating, etc. It reminded me of the time we met a mother of triplets a year older than ours at a big-box store… We had a ton of questions for her too.
One note of system maintenance – the website might be down for a few hours this next week as I shuffle some technical resources around. I’m reorganizing and have a plan to make this blog a little better.
