Unlike the regular routing, this year's 4th of July parade was held... on the 3rd. After the parade we had a nice family/friends barbeque at my hubby's aunt and uncle. As planned, our princess spent the night at their place and they all headed to Virginia to spend the day on a farm. Yay! Free time for mom and dad!
We were hoping to take off somewhere overnight. As it turns out, we couldn't find a last minute getaway but we still had a great time. First we had dinner at a cajun restaurant. Just the two of us. Our daughter is well behaved and we gladly take her along to the restaurant... however it tends to kill the romantic side of things. Anyway nice dinner, great evening. Then this morning we did a spur of the moment thing. We are watching CBS' Sunday Morning show on TV while having breakfast. One of the topics this week was the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in DC. And we just decided to go. Just like that. So and hour later we are on our way to DC (Ok it's only a few miles away, but not an expedition we would undertake without planing if out little one had to come along). The exhibit was great, we plenty of time to enjoy it and check out other area of the the museum. And cherry on the cake, the Air Force Jazz band was playing in the museum's courtyard. Very cool. We headed back home before things went crazy with people heading to the fireworks.
Back home we tidied up the house and had another nice dinner together on the back porch. Then it was back to reality. And the great feeling of those little arms around my neck. I did miss my munchkin!
Tomorrow is going to be a slow day. Shopping, cleaning, laundry all done already. If it's not too hot in the morning I might try to tackle some gardening. We'll see.
