I had a wonderful lunch date with Marcia and our two youngest, Jack and Luke.  I took them to the Paper Moon Diner.  It is decorated with the most eclectic collection of toys from several decades.  The toys are attached to the ceilings, to the walls, and to mannequins.  There are dolls riding tricycles upside down on the ceiling.  There are several hundred Pez dispensers in a glass case.  There are superheroes hanging from old phone cords.  There is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask in a fan from the 1950s.  Outside, there are toilets in the garden, filled with plants.  There is a huge tub, overflowing with flowers.

The boys loved it.  They were fascinated by the scenery throughout the meal.  Luke would point to something on the ceiling and say something about it.  Jack would point and try to repeat what his big brother said.  Then he would call somebody a Ding Dong.  They ate their lunch, got full, and took home a doggy bag.  Luke took the check up to the register and paid with my credit card.

Then we took the boys to the Charmery in Camden.  They had very unique flavors like Old Bay Caramel.  Luke ordered Vanilla.  Jack insisted on Pistachio Toffee Crunch.  It was so good that his dad also got the same.

After lunch, they dropped me back at work.  What a doubly special treat for me.  Some delicious ice cream.  And some of the loves of my life to share lunch with.
