This past week, Charles and I had off from school for Fall Break. We originally contemplated going to the beach but eventually decided that we’d rather take a “staycation” by staying home and doing things we enjoy. We were able to take it easy but also accomplish some tasks and errands. We did laundry, cleaning, and shopping, Charles spent two days working uninterrupted at school, and I completed a much-needed reorganization of the pantry/laundry room/tool cabinet/cleaning closet/etc. room in our house. We had fun playing games together, watching episodes of our favorite TV shows, spending time with Emi, taking a walk in the local park, video chatting with friends and family, going out to eat, and doing our “own thing” like reading for me or playing computer games for Charles. All in all, it was just what we needed and was a stellar vacation!
Relaxing with a good book.
Organized pantry room!
Hubby made pancakes for breakfast (multiple days!).
Shopping at Costco–not too busy by Costco standards.
I made sugar cookies for the first time in my life.
Dinner out at a local gem (Olimato’s).
Took Emi to the groomer.
Popcorn and Sherlock Holmes. :)
Playing Monopoly together.
Me and the pup.
Out for dinner at Friday’s.
It was a full moon, so we decided to venture to the roof to take a look.
Our nighttime city view from the roof.
A walk in the park.
Emi in the few “Fall” leaves we found.
Just getting a little exercise in on the new apparatus at the park.
This is how Emi and I felt most of the break.
