Pajama Day

Pajama days in our house are reserved for special occasions, when we’re not feeling well, when we need a little extra TLC, when we want to stay home and cuddle.

Pj Day

Today Adam got to enjoy a pajama day for the first time for no reason at all, simply because he took a long nap and we had to run out to meet Randy for a business lunch. Those are the best pajama days of all.

Our apartment is right across the street from the embassy where Randy is working and it’s been great having lunch with him every day. Sometimes he comes home and we cook but today since it was Friday (and we had no food in the house) we went out. We headed to Coffee Mania to meet Randy on his lunch break.

To the regular tourist, Coffee Mania from the outside may look like a not that special chain…but to knowledgable Russky experts like the Alis, we know that this is actually a pretty upscale establishment with rather tasty food. But we Alis like to keep it real and attended lunch in our pjs.

Adam has become obsessed with drinking water from cups,

except more than half of it dribbles out of his mouth.

Adam loves to people watch in Russia.

I ordered a delicious Tom Yam and Randy ordered delicious dumplings. Since this place is around the corner from us, has amazing food and a safe high chair, something quite elusive in Russia, I think we’ll be coming back here often.

After lunch, Adam and I decided to stroll over to the Revolution Museum. We saw lots of fun things on our way over.

The Egyptian Embassy!

Beautiful Church

Gold BMW- only in Russia people!

Pink Limo- ok this you would see in Vegas too I’m sure.

Statue…I’ve forgotten who of

Farmers Market

Russian Candies

After our long walk we finally arrived…only to discover that the guidebook’s cool sounding Revolution Museum was actually called The Musuem of Contempary History of Russia…not as cool sounding. BUT we had walked all the way over so we went in. We even paid the extra 5 dollars for a Foto Ticket so we could photograph our experience. We’re always thinking of our faithful readers.

The museum was decent. Nothing that exciting and mostly in Russian, but it was fun to walk around and see Adam looking at all the posters and statues.

On our way home, we stopped in a delicious bakery to get a snack and some bread. While we were there it started POURING, there was hail, thunder so loud it caused car alarms to go off and buckets of rain. But we were nice and cozy in a bakery. Not a bad spot to get stuck in for half hour.
