LanternAsia at te Norfolk Botanical Gardens was really enchanting. It was one of those evenings that I think Isaac might remember after I expect him to forget. We had gorgeous, warm weather, a slight breeze, exotic music floating between the suspended lanterns. It was nights like these that first made me want to travel the world.
“The WHOLE WORLD is celebrating Sylvia’s birthday!” Isaac exclaimed as we drove in under the first lanterns.
The kids darted in and around the lanterns, chasing each other and cooing over the colors. Eloise’s squeaking sandals gathered a following—literally, a group of grandmothers and teen girls followed her and showered her with compliments.
An airplane took off from the nearby airport as we walked by an imposing, sinuous dragon.
“It’s ROARING!” Isaac shrieked.
“I think that’s an airplane buddy,” I said.
“No, it’s a dragon.”
“Oh. Ok.”
As we drove home, well after bedtime, I asked what his favorite part was.
“The dragon!!”
