9/16 - Good Times" at the CBC

I decided to take mom and dad to the CBC - Congressional Black Caucus Expo on Saturday. There's entertainment, black-owned businesses, and lots of energy. I met some new friends while dancing to an african singing artist (can't remember his name).


I also racked up on some goods. I got a new music CD written/arranged by an african american school teacher that will help me learn my ABC's. The Cheerio's company gave me free boxes of cheerio's and a cheerio bear. The nice business owner of Kip & Knoodle gave me a free hand puppet and safety strap cover which I loved.



I met Michelle Singletary, writer for the Washington Post's Color of Money and tv host of the same. (Mommy got a little financial advice from her as well). And guess who else I saw??





Thelma from Good Times who was there for a book signing (she hasn't aged a bit). Dad started to get one of his "hunger headaches" so we grabbed a bite to eat. While we were sitting at the table, a nice man who worked in the cafeteria said I reminded him of his daughters and gave me an order of french fries which I loved.


When we left the CBC we headed over to the Silver Spring Jazz Festival. There were LOTS of people and I loved the music especially the Marcus Johnson Project.



We wanted to stay for Spyro Gyra but it was getting late and we were all tired.
