Bradley Birth Class Reunion & Armenian Fest

Going to our Bradley reunion was a sort of surreal experience for me, because I remember seeing photos in my baby book of my parents going to their Lamaze reunion. And it always struck me because one of those babies went on to become Megan Mooney, a girl I went to school with for elementary and middle school.

So their was a weird sense of looking forward and backward in time as we headed off to our Bradley reunion. We'd agreed to meet central in the city, so we were meeting at the Lincoln Park Conservatory at the Lincoln Park Zoo. We parked early so we had time to take in the plants at the Conservatory before meeting up with everyone. Afterwards our plan was to stroll around the zoo for a while before heading up to Wisconsin for the Armenian picnic the next day.

In his little animals onesie for his first trip to the zoo. And you can tell how excited he is. (Notice the conservatory in the background)

Armenian Picnic

Richard Hagopian lived down the street from me when I was little, and he was my first husband (married with a candy ring at the ripe old age of six).
