Mini Staycation

I'm writing this in advance, so I can't really tell you what we're doing. But John took a few days off of work so we could have a little family fun together. Last year, we went to Glenwood Springs for four days. This year, John needed Thursday to do some catching up for work, which is good, so he can enjoy his time off without those things hanging over his head.

Since I don't know what we're doing the day this posts, here's a list of possibilities:

1. Lounge around in our PJs, playing board games (Settlers of Catan, Monopoly, Sorry, etc.), eating snacks, and listening to Elvis, Blues Brothers, The B52s, or something else upbeat and fun. {Side note: Zach, this child I gave birth to, doesn't like blues! What is wrong with him? That means our fun music will likely not include blues, or if it does, it will be minimal. How sad is that?}

2. Head out to Manitou Springs, play games at the Penny Arcade, take photo booth pictures (if it's in working order), wander around the shops, and eat lunch at Marilyn's Pizza.

3. Play miniature golf.

4. Have a Psych or Monk marathon, courtesy of Netflix.

5. Something else, not yet considered.

Regardless of what we do, it will be great to have some time together, just enjoying each other's company, being silly, and having fun. I'll be sure to post about it and there'll be pictures, of course. Even if they're just pictures of PJs, snacks, and game boards.

Enjoy your weekend!
