Trent and I spent the last few days on “staycation.” In theory, it seemed like a great idea, but at times, it really did seem to be a bit of a bust.
We started out Saturday with swimming and then planned to go to the Storm Chasers game at Werner Park. I was excited because I hadn’t been to the new ballpark yet and also they were going to have fireworks after the game. It was a beautiful night so we headed out to the ballpark. We thought about buying tickets online first, but didn’t figure it would sell out so we’d just buy them at the gate. However, when we got to the game they were only selling tickets for the grass berm. There were so many seats that weren’t taken and we had to sit on the grass. Without a blanket. Strike one.
So we were taking in all the sights of the baseball game when a storm began to brew to the west.
Midway through the third inning there was a major downpour but no lightning. Then in the fourth inning the lightning and thunder began to come so we decided to go. Strike two. Fireworks were not looking promising. So of course we were hungry and close to 0ur favorite restaurant…El Bee’s…so we stopped by there for dinner. El Bee’s was definitely the highlight of our night! Thinking things were looking up, we headed home only to get stuck in this…
Strike three. No worries, nothing serious. Just a little fender bender on the shoulder that stopped traffic for miles. Ridiculous!
Thankfully the rest of our week didn’t go quite like this. I was not very good about taking pictures though. However, it include lunch at Platte River State Park…Trent’s favorite place to eat in the whole world. Swimming at Mahoney…where I discovered that you have not truly lived life until you have experienced the wave pool, shopping at Menards and Border’s and sitting in a ginormous chair!
We ended the staycation with s’mores at Trent’s parent’s house. I bought all the fixings in case we went camping, but cooked them over the fire pit instead.
Somehow we convinced this little one to eat a s’more!
While it was not a total bust, Trent is already planning Summer Vacation 2012. He had fun, but traveling is a necessity.
Now, Trent and I are both getting ready to head back to the real world. I will miss you summer vacation. Until next time…xoxo
