I know that I have lots of blogging to catch up on, but I thought it might be good to just start with what we've been doing lately. Although we travel quite a bit, it is always back home to visit family. This past weekend, we decided to go to Bentonville/Rogers for quick getaway weekend with just the three of us! We stayed in a suite which worked out the best for us since we could put Isabelle's pack n play in living room area so she could sleep undisturbed. She loved her first stay in a hotel! We stayed on the fourth floor and her favorite thing to do was to look out the window at all the traffic. We also went swimming in the pool, and she was wary at first, but she warmed up to it once we played for awhile. We also took some family photos with a photographer while we were there. We ate at some yummy restaurants such as Mellow Mushroom and Tusk and Trotter. I remember a co-worker of mine telling me that there will be a point when taking kids to restaurants would be terrible for awhile. I thought she was crazy because our daughter has always done well when we take her. I'm eating my words because now that she's a headstrong toddler it is pretty tough. She wants to feed herself, but she makes a mess while doing it. Also, since she can't speak yet so I can tell she gets frustrated when she is trying to communicate what she wants. We'll keep working on it because we love to try new places to eat. My sweet friend, Rosa, came to babysit after Isabelle fell asleep last minute so Sean and I could go on a fun date night. We went to Fastlane and it was the best time I've had on a date in a long time. How can you go wrong with bowling and air hockey? On Sunday we stopped by Crystal Bridges to check out the Norman Rockwell exhibit. It was quite impressive and a must see for anyone that is in the area. On the drive home Sean and I talked about how much fun we had and that we think our daughter is ready for more trips this summer! Until next time...
Love them
