What a great stay-cation!

I wasn't planning to take much time off work this summer because of the wedding/honeymoon but that quickly changed. I was originally going to take one day off to go to an afternoon Cardinals game with Lisa but decided I better take Thursday off too, in case we indulged in too many adult beverages. What the heck, if I'm taking 2 days, I may as well take the whole week, right? My thoughts exactly! So, here's how it went down:

Monday was a house cleaning day so I could enjoy the rest of the week without feeling guilty about a dirty house. I must have found some energy that day because I moved furniture to vacuum behind, cleaned all the base-boards, etc. Things that go beyond my semi-weekly cleaning routine.

Tuesday, I had my nephew, Timmy for the day. We met Cheryl & Chelsea to see Toy Story 3 and it was Timmy's first movie in the theatre. He loved it, although from the picture below, you can tell he didn't quite know what to think at first.



On Wednesday, Lisa and I went to the Cards game and got first pitch tickets for just $5.50 each. It was a great deal and I even scored a free VIP parking pass by being in the right place at the right time.


Of course it's never a complete baseball experience until you see Fredbird:


And, it was also Ashley's first time at the stadium so we ventured across the ballpark to meet her for a drink:


Thursday was a relaxed fun-day, again with Lisa, complete with shopping and a hair cut/highlights. Friday, we went to Carlyle Lake and soaked up some rays for a few hours.


After the lake, we got pedicures and went out for dinner/drinks in her hometown of Breese. It's a small town with not much going on so it was an early night.

Today was a bootcamp day and back to the grind at Circa. Tonight, Larry and I are having a date night with dinner and a movie, going to see Grown-Ups. I'll let you know how it is.

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July and enjoys the long weekend!
