Staycation....Part 1

Ten had some time off of work that he needed to use this month, and we had decided to go to Washington D.C. We were going to go to the zoo, try some new restaurants, and check out the museums. However....the more we got to thinking about it, the more realized that we could really do all of those things here in New York....and not have to waste time on a train...or bus...or plane...or whatever...So, staycation was born.

Friday started off as any Friday. Me and Mia went to her Japanese class. She had such a great time....so much so she screamed in another little girl's face...and made her cry...I won't lie...it was kind of funny.

When the teacher asked if I wanted to take pictures of Mia as the princess for Hina Matsuri, I was like of course!! Unfortunately  I only had my phone with me...which doesn't take the greatest of pics.

Princess Mia

She loved it, but of course...would not smile for the camera.

On Saturday, we woke up and had breakfast before swim class...I so wanted to take pictures, but I got to chatting with nice Brazilian mom again....have to try harder next time. Anyway, I wanted to mention our breakfast because I was lucky enough to capture this picture.

Mia was dropping strawberries on the floor, and Ten was picking them up. Well, she had decided to chew up part of a strawberry and then shove it in Ten's mouth....hahaha....He seriously looks so disturbed in this picture, and she looks like what she just did was hilarious...which it was....haha

Finally, no true vacation (or staycation) would be complete without some shopping thrown in. After we rested from swim class, we went and bought Mia some new clothes. I even picked up a pair of jeans for myself.

The prices for everything were cheaper than what we usually buy at Target, so I was in heaven.

All ready for her first baseball game this summer!

Had to get Jeter since it is Ten's all time favorite player.

We also ran over to Michael's (LOVE this store), and bought a few things for Easter and even St. Paddy's Day. Here are a few things that we chose.

Pretty Easter wreath and bouquet of flowers for the dining table.

Lots of Easter eggs since they were on sale. Now, we will have plenty for next year. After all, you never know what country we may end up in.

For the front door...not a great pic...but really pretty...can't wait to hang it next year.

On Sunday, Ten went grocery shopping, and we just kind of hung out as usual. It was a pretty great weekend! Stay tuned for the rest of our staycation... :)
