Staycation all I ever wanted......

Last week Tom took a few days off of work and I cancelled one of my EI patients so we could have a Staycation. As much as we LOVE going on vacation, we just weren't sure how it was all going to shake out with Adam, plus we're on a stricter budget, so we decided to have a staycation :)

The first day happened to be Adam's "11 month" birthday so we of course took some pictures with his 11 month sticker :D  We went on a couple of walks together including taking Bailey to the pet store to pick out her birthday toy. (Every year they send us a coupon for a free toy for her birthday!)  For dinner we walked to a local sushi restaurant and I enjoyed sushi for the first time in almost 2 years!!



Thursday we had to go to work to get our TB tests read, so we made a trip out of it and went to the zoo afterwards.  There were tooooooons of kids there from various daycamps.  Adam had a good time looking at the animals, but his attention span was uber short.  He liked the zebras best.  For dinner we decided to check out a local restaurant, Pitchfork, which we had been wanting to visit for a while.  The best part was that we got to sit outside and enjoy the weather (and giant beers).

Friday we mostly hung around the apartment.  We went for a walk, set up the baby pool in the back yard for Adam, and Tom finally got some ice cream from the ice cream truck (who knew they sold soft serve, for cheap, btw?!) I made a feta, spinach, and artichoke calzone for dinner.

Saturday we walked over to the local park to watch some wheelchair baseball and just sit outside and enjoy the weather. Later in the day we went over to a friend's house for a BBQ/Goodbye party for two of our friends who are moving to Brooklyn at the end of the month.  It was a blast and there were babies and kiddos everywhere, so it was a little chaotic ;)

Sunday was low key as we got ready for the week ahead.  We took Adam to the park and he enjoyed the swing more than he has any other time ;)
