Well, I woke up this morning with very ambitious plans to unpack, clean the house and do laundry. Get things back in order, basically, before we all return to our normal lives tomorrow. Then I stopped. And thought. "What the hell am I thinking? This is our last day of vacation, and we got some making up to do in the fun department."
So we started off our day at breakfast at Garden Cafe's patio (that's where the pic of Jer and Wilder above was taken). For Texas, it was pleasant outdoors this morning. Tolerable in the shade with a breeze that made it even somewhat cool. Wilder went crazy with blueberry-tinged applesauce while Jerry and I stuck to eggs, coffee and such.
Afterwards we headed across the street to the park, where Wilder engaged in his new favorite activity: swinging. Once his cheeks got flushed, though, we tumbled into our air-conditioned car, swung into Target for swim diapers, then headed home so W could get a nap in before heading to the pool.
Pool! Fun times!! We swam, lazed around on a blanket, played with toys, read smutty gossip mags, ate hot links and milk (Wilder), splashed, sucked on toy fishies (again, Wilder) and just generally had one helluva good time. Then home for steaks on the grill with wine, and now Wilder, though you would think he'd be wiped after such a day, is in his crib loudly and continuously protesting bedtime.
Oh well, I'm sure he's just upset his first vacation is over and he's got to return to the grind of daycare tomorrow. Poor kid.
Pics below. Ahhhh, a great end to a unexpected vacation.
