A few weeks ago my friend Kristen had the brilliant idea of taking a day trip somewhere. Though no two days are ever quite the same when you're a mom, there's still monotony in the daily dressing, feeding, and cleaning that goes on. We agreed a getaway was just what we needed, so we loaded up the kids and drove to Leavenworth for the day. It was about as perfect as a day can get for Danny.
He had a best buddy, dagger, and nonstop movies on the two hour drive.
There were tons of fun shops with interesting things to look at like "cowboy" hats, 
rifles,
electric guitars. . . oh wait. Just another gun.
a Medusa hat, 
and a scuba hat which Danny insisted was a "knight" hat.
We ate a perfect lunch of bratwurst and lemonade supplemented by goldfish crackers, fruit snacks, pretzels, ice cream, grapes, carrot sticks, and a gumball that was bigger than Danny's mouth. Life doesn't get much better for a 3-year-old.
And then, to top off Danny's perfect day we went to Smallwood Farm to run around, pet the animals, and play.
He even got to try out a real lasso. What a great day for Danny!
Kaylee couldn't have been better herself. She napped and ate when we needed her to and she didn't fuss at all until we were almost home. Most of the day she was nothing but smiles.
As for me, I returned home feeling rejuvinated. There's nothing like a getaway with good food, good conversation, and a good friend to help you re-energize. Thanks for a fantastic trip Hamburger Head (aka Kristen). 
If you could go anywhere for a day, where would you go?

How about Seattle? No, to far away for a day. How about south until it gets warm enough to not have to wear a winter coat? No, to far away again. We just got back from Boise and SLC, so I guess if I could go anywhere this week-end, it would be to the IF temple. Hugs to all, Mom Hong
That was so fun to recap that day. It was totally re-energizing and absolutely awesome. I am thinking of where we can go for our next adventure.... I think this is only the beginning ;)
