Last Friday was my and my husband's 10 year wedding anniversary. We packed up pur things and headed to Southeast Texas for our annual vacation to visit our family. Out of nostalgia, we had dinner at the restaurant we got married at. The flavors have not changed. Such memories!
Things that have happened since last Friday,
On Saturday, we went to my cousin's wedding at a historic Masonic temple. We even got a tour and small history of the building and some Masonic information. It was rather nice to see and experience such an old building.
Sunday was spent at an aunt's house for a weekly family lunch/dinner. We had hoagies and i made some yummy cheescake-stuffed strawberries.
The majority of the week has been really low-key. Naps and reading are my favorite summer vacation activities. Ivy has been swimming every day. I am so happy the incident last fall did not deter her from swimming - she loves it so much. Her PawPaw is even starting to teach her how to swim.
Thursday, we took Ivy to the Houston Zoo. Ryan and I had not been there since before we got married. It was really hot, especially since factoring the humidity that we are no longer used to. There was a small, childrens' splash/sprinkler park within the zoo. Since Ivy was hot and we had a spare change of clothes for her, we let her play and cool down before we headed back to our home-away-from-home.
Today is girl's beach weekend getaway. I made cupcakes and got groceries and drove to the beach. I am currently pn the deck, alternating between sitting in the sun and shade, sipping a cola and reading my current book - The Moon and More.
What do you have planned for the weekend?
Have a wonderful weekend -whatever you do!
PS: Welcome to Mommyhood, Joy! (She had a bouncing baby boy during the wee hours of June 11.) I am posting from my phone and lacking a nice "easy button" to post a link to her blog.
Thank you, Lena! It's pretty wonderful so far!
ReplyDeleteMy weekend is full (though I hope to rest some, too) with newborn pictures tomorrow, unpacking from the hospital, putting together baby things we hadn't thought we'd need quite yet, and hopefully bringing our new little guy to church on Father's Day! Enjoy your beach weekend!
