A big thank you to Grandma and Grandpa who drove up from VA Beach to watch the kiddo this weekend so Matt and I could get away for a couple of nights. It's been so great just relaxing--not rushing, not trying to plan everything out, not being woken up by the cats at all hours of the night, not being woke up by a kiddo at 6, not having to make meals or think about them really. It's been really nice!!
We left about 11:30 on Saturday morning. Maddy did not like seeing us go. She was crying. But she's been having some separation anxiety lately, also during ballet as well. But I heard she dried up as soon as we left and she went grocery shopping with grandma and grandpa right afterwards, too. Matt and I ate lunch at Red Rock Canyon and it was really nice. Then we went to Pentagon City Mall and wandered around a bit...didn't find much, if anything to buy. Then we took a little drive and checked into our hotel and took a really nice NAP!!! Then we popped out for dinner at Pei Wei and then went to Barnes and Noble and Best Buy to browse around and do some shopping. We found a cute board game at Barnes and Noble so we've played a few rounds of that this weekend. We stopped for Damon's Grill and it was quite enjoyable. Even though it's a sports bar, they have a completely separate dining area that isn't noisy or smokey! Overall, all our meals out were quite a hit this weekend!!! I couldn't be more pleased (or more stuffed). We got a late nap, ordered in pizza, sat around and browsed the web and played a board game or two! It was so nice to be lazy!
But now it's time to get a move on! Matt brought up breakfast from the breakfast bar downstairs and he still needs to clear off the car so we can head home to our girlie-girl who misses us. It's been a great weekend out. But we need to get moving!
I hope everyone else had a great weekend as well!
