One of Henry's favorite things is Tab and Tessy (www.tessyandtab.com ). They are these great books that come in the mail - addressed to him. The books are about two characters -- Tab and Tessy - and their adventures.
This month one of the books was about Tab and Tessy getting hot cocoa at a coffee shop (Heart on NE Burnside). (http://www.tessyandtab.com/heart/)
Turns out, Tab and Tessy is made here in Portland. Today, they had a special outing (first six kids got to go) where you got to go to the coffee shop where the story is based and meet the characters (who were transformed into a Zebra and Wolf) and see the place in the picture. The kids LOVED it. It was Francie's first hot chocolate and Henry loved making the connection between the pictures in the book and the real-life setting (in the picture above he has the page with the coffee roaster on it and then the actual one is behind him). I loved the Americano....and...not gonna lie to you....the people watching was FASCINATING.
Perfect playdate.
