Staycation 2010 ~ Day 1 Children's Museum

Matt, Reese and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend as we geared up for a relaxing staycation. Reese's school closes the last week in August every year, so we take the week off and hang out together.

It is amazing how much more I enjoyed the weekend knowing I had the entire week off too! There was no pressure to get everything done before Monday. Saturday morning we went to "look at the dirt" better know as progress on the house. They have completed the plumbing stack out and are ready to pour concrete by next Tuesday, August 31st.



Then we took a trip to Starbucks to read the paper followed by a trip to the park. After cooling off and watching an episode of Dora we headed to Chick-fil-a for a nice lunch. The afternoon was spent napping.

Sunday was spent at home playing and resting.



Reese was singing and having a good 'ole time.




Today, our first official day of vacation, Reese and I went to the Children's Museum with MaMa Pat. Matt, unfortunately has to work through Wednesday, so we went without him.

It was the perfect time to go because all of the school age kids started back today, so we practically had the place to ourselves.




Reese got to see what phones used to look like.



MaMa Pat pulled her up on the pulley seat.




MaMa Pat got a work out and Reese loved it.



Then we checked out the cool classic Ford Mustang. Grandpa Joe could have told Reese some stories about his Pontiac GTO.




Reese loved being in the drivers seat.




She even took me for a spin.



Reese made up her own sorting game at this station.



She loved and cow and wanted to sit on it. but the sign said, "Please do not sit."



In the "Tot Spot" Reese played along may other toddlers. She liked fastening the chain, ringing the doorbell and turning the light on and off.



And the tunnel was a hit because we love them so much!!!



I remember this toy from our last visit when Reese was little.



Driving the police car was super fun!



Luckily the Ambulance did not have a siren!






After a great trip, we headed home and took a nap. That is my goal, a nap a day for Reese and more importantly me and baby boy!


Later tonight, Reese chatted on the phone with GiGi.
