Play Date: Saturday, April 16

The Miller's are planning on attending the CT Audubon Society's annual Easter egg hunt at their Fairfield center, which is located at 2325 Burr Street in Fairfield.  The details are available via the following link:

It looks a little pricey, but I figure it's worth it.  How can you go wrong with crafts, an appearance by the bunny himself, and a continental breakfast?  We're shooting to make the 9:30 hunt, assuming Audrey's game and the weather cooperates.

Give me a buzz if you're interested in coordinating.

Play Date: Monday, April 11

Tomorrow afternoon, the Millers (well...Audrey and I) will be celebrating April's first flirtation with 70 degree weather at the Sandcastle playground in Fairfield, which is behind the Jenning's Beach parking lot (South Benson Road).

A few of us are planning on meeting up sometime around 3:30/4ish, so shoot me a call or just show up if you're interested.  Hope to see you there!

Unfortunately, a google image search of "Fairfield" "park" and "sandcastle" didn't yield any results, so, until I review this local tot spot, you'll have to suffer yet another picture of my little lady...

The Hunger Games: Blood Root

Blood Root is a long-established feminist books store/vegetarian restaurant located right across Burr Creek from Captain's Cove at 85 Ferris Street in Blackrock.  Though the food is quite tasty (be sure to order the bread), 2 out of 3 Millers agreed that the prices were a little steep for frequent family dining (the 3rd Miller was too busy eating ice cream with her bare hands to vote (you ought to be ashamed of yourself, Danica).



The staff at Bloodroot was extremely friendly, and the restaurant was certainly kid-friendly.  That said, they don't offer a kids menu (or smaller portions at a reduced rate).  As it's vegetarian in genre, all of the offerings are healthy for parent and child alike.  Moreover, Bloodroot boasts a pseudo-locavore/seasonal veggie selection, which makes dining here both tasty and ethically-informed.

While the jury remains out on whether or not we'll be taking the fam back to Bloodroot in the future, Danica and I will certainly keep in mind when planning our next date night.
