I'm starting to feel like a teenager again, looking out my window and sighing angstily about why I must live somewhere so uncool. Yeah, okay, the New York Times just listed Detroit as one of its hot travel destinations for 2008, and we have fabulous Family Hootenanny shows where I got to meet Elizabeth Mitchell (my daughter would totally quit preschool and follow Elizabeth Mitchell around like a Deadhead if we just let her drive).
But what we don’t have is, say, a Baby Loves Disco visit, or anything like this. A club in Tuscon''s Historic Hotel Congress throw open its doors to families for an afternoon the second Sunday of every month. There's music, dancing, drinks for both grownups and little ones, and even a Battle of the Baby Bands.
Sounds like a blast. I'd be interested to hear from any Tuscon residents who've been to know if it's as much fun as it sounds. And given I outgrew my club years long before becoming a mom, I wonder if the whole scene would be more fun now that 1) it's smoke-free and I like it that way 2) I know exactly who I am sleeping with 3) I will be in bed by the time I used to be hitting the dance floor.
Still, this seems like a great way for the whole family to get out and shake their groove things in unison. I love when grownup fun and kid fun can converge, don’t you?
