La Bonne Crepe in Fort Lauderdale

Family excursion today to the IMAX theater at MODS. We saw The Last Reef and To The Arctic, two 40-minute documentaries with beautiful camera work and overly politicized depressing narration.
Afterward we had a delightful dinner at La Bonne Crepe about 10 blocks to the east.

The kidlets started with hot chocolate. They loved it.

The Las Olas strip has high end art galleries. We stopped in a few. The Oggi Murano (also in Boca) has stunning pieces of blown glass.

Voter Registration Drive Saturday

The Obama campaign is doing a voter registration drive at the West Boca library on Glades at 95th Street.
The event runs from 10 am to 4 pm.
While their stated purpose is to reelect the president, we hope they won’t Acorn the ones that fill out the forms as Republican.
Details on the Obama website. There’s another event from 10-1 to canvass undecided voters. link

Giggles at Loggers Run

Slow on the draw, we just noticed Giggles Kids Salon in Loggers Run Plaza. It opened in February.
The basic Giggles (hair) Cut is $20. Mani for $13 up to $26 for mani/pedi. And of course they have spa packages and party packages.
Place looks nice and clean. Good to see it was active even during school hours.
