Big News Day

Wyatt and I went for our Mommy Date. 

There's chorros and chocolate in a boring cafeteria in our neighborhood, and then there's churros and chocolate in Madrid Center. 

Here is a statue in front of a library. 

The sign say Chocolateria, but otherwise this looks like dead end. 

Grafitti on a ... Is it a garage door if it actually covers a storefront?  Anyway everything is closed at 9:00 a.m. 

Ah!!! Now things are looking a little more lively. Those people in the background are tourists in line. 

We got there before the crush and got a seat. It was plenty of churros for a good price.  I would still rather have donuts. 

You don't realize when you are in these tiny streets that you are next to a church. 

Later in the day, Troy had a judo tournament. He is the only yellow belt among black belts, but he was happy and learned to avoid some tricks that these guys used. 

From the judo tournament we went on to the Spartan race. 

It is a 5k run with obstacles and mud. 

Troy is not in these pictures, so don't look for him. 

We will do it together next year, plus there's a kids' challenge. 

And the biggest news, my brother Nelson married his girlfriend Christie on Friday!  New sister- in-law, new aunt :-)
