Our weekends have been full this summer - full of unpacking at the beginning, intermittent 5K runs, visits to and from family and friends which we've enjoyed, but we haven't had much time to do things with just the four of us. Last Saturday was our first free one in a long time, so we headed off for a daycation - complete with a trip to "the Niagara of the West", thrifting in the nearby town (more on that later) and lunch at a great Thai restaurant.
The boys loved it. When we told them we were going to see a waterfall, Ned asked if we were going to the pool, so I was a bit worried that he might be disappointed that there would be no swimming. As we drove down the windy road to get to the big falls, there were several small waterfalls and both the boys shouted with glee that we had made it to the waterfalls...no disappointment whatsoever.
We have decided a return trip in the spring should be on the agenda, so we can see the falls in its full glory.
It gave us the chance to step away from our big decision about what to do about Peter's schooling next year. More on that later too.
It was a great day - the boys are old enough now to both enjoy a trip like this, so I think we'll be doing more of these "daycations."
