Parents' Play Day

Matt and I both took Friday off and spent a day together.  I took the girls to daycare, and met Matt back at home for a day out in Ballard.  We'd been dying to go to the movies, so even though it was a beautiful day, we checked out a matinee at the Majestic Bay.  We saw Burn After Reading, which we thought was great! It was just fun to be at the movies in the middle of the day on a work day. And it had been way too long since we'd seen a show - 9 months we figured.  

For lunch, we dined on fresh chips, guacamole and tacos at La Carta de Oaxaca.  Yum!  And then followed up with a walk to the Locks, and browsing in Ballard's shops.  

As we walked home from Market Street, we were brought abruptly back to reality by a call from the daycare.  Emma was extremely congested, fussy and not taking her bottle.  So our play day came to an end, and we picked up the girls to take them home for some TLC.  

We'll take any amount of time together we can get, and definitely plan to do that again sometime.  We might even venture out of our own neighborhood for a change.
