the babycation.

in all it's gory details. it was such a lovely, relaxing week spending time together. i didn't think the week would officially start till sunday, but matt came home that friday and decided it should start then. so...

friday-dinner at iron hill and a walk in the borough.

saturday-we went to next for the day with rick and traci. traci and i had lunch with a bunch of boys. but, then the our boys took us out for a nice dinner.

sunday-we picked up matt's new irons at the club and then had a nice country drive to lancaster. we tried to do some serious shopping, but there just wasn't much we saw, which was very sad for me. so, we went to walmart and got steaks for our bbq at the russells for memory day. lots of laughs.

monday-was actual memory day and it was very hot, so we went to see iron man 2 after having lunch at the wegmans. we then went to modells to get some new phillies gear. my parents had a little family (minus k&c&m) bbq dinner for memory day.

tuesday-we were kinda boring today. i had a dr. appt that matt actually got to come to. it ended up being a very long and tedious appt, but everything's ok. we had lunch at meredith's on the main line. we contemplated going to see another movie, but ended up going to kop instead. matt spent a lot of time at the golf store there and then i lost him. once i found him, i was craving a target trip. we got some goodies there including the new jack johnson album which is a hit. then, as always, matt wanted to stop at marshall's...he loves those places. and we hit up chipotle on the way home for dinner.

wednesday-matt played golf in the morning and i just took it easy at home. we went to chick-fil-a for lunch for our free spicy chicken sandwiches! back at home, we packed up and headed into the city for the night. we stayed at the embassy suites (thanks to mom&dad hayes) right near the art museum and had a room with a great view. we walked around the city for a little bit before heading to dinner at the melting pot. now, we contemplated going somewhere more exciting, but it's one of our favorites and we didn't know what other day we would eat there. but, we got the whole meal and i left with my belly about three times the size as when went in. it was very good.

thursday-we slept in so late we missed the free breakfast at the hotel...bammer. but, we had lunch in jersey at the jug handle inn which was rumored to have the best wings in the usa. we saw something about them on the food network awhile back and have been wanting to try it for awhile. let me tell you...they were pretty good! i would definitely go back for some more. after lunch we made the long trek to french creek state park. our plan was to rent a motorboat and sail the lake waves for a few hours. well, the motor boat we rented went about 2mph and matt got bored very quickly (i smartly brought a book with me) plus it was hot so we only stayed out for an hour. we were pretty tired by the end of the day so we got some take out and stayed home.

friday-i told matt this day that i wanted to do some shopping. he wanted to go to the batting cages (cause of the big game later) and the driving range (to try out his new irons). so, matt sweetly gave me a wad of cash to go out and we split ways for a bit. i hit up the mall and an anthro...or two. it was a good time. we met back up to get some chick for dinner on the way to the covfel vs. covfel round 2 softball game. we had to get there super early to prepare. the outcome was favorable as matt's covfel team beat nick's covfel team. we then had to be responsible and go to a community group leaders meeting.

saturday-in the morning, matt bore with me and watched 'leap year.' not bad. he then played his new ps3 game for awhile while i cleaned up around the house. after that he was still playing and i decided i was going to go out and do something! so i went and bought some clothes for chloe :) got a frappuchino and maybe reloaded my starbucks card, but matt doesn't know that... we went to the phillies game that night and our plan was to get there early to enjoy some ballpark food, but we got stuck in traffic and that didn't happen. well, we still enjoyed ballpark food...chickie and pete fries being the important one. the game was a good one and we actually won. phillies game are one of my favorite things to do with matt, so it was a perfect ending to a good week.

sunday-cause this day didn't really count. we went to harrisburg for a graduation party.

so, that was our week. fascinating, i know. there are days we didn't know what to do, so we just went shopping, which is always fine with me :) plus it was just too hot outside to do certain things. but, like i said, it was a relaxing week spending time together which is just what we wanted/needed.

in other news:
-we are starting to work more on chloe's room. matt painted it last week. we need to set up the crib, make the dresser that i got at goodwill look nice, order a rug, and pretty much everything else.
-softball playoffs are almost here! matt's team is #2 in the league and looking solid.
-i am getting bigger and feeling pretty good. here is me at 29 weeks...i'll be 31 tomorrow.


i'm getting excited for my shower next weekend. you never know what my mom and sisters have up their sleeve.
-i am watching as much of the world cup as i can. matt doesn't like it as much...those horns really start to bother him after awhile. ha.

other than that, i'm just taking it easy, trying to do fun things and enjoy the summer.
