A good weekend

So last week I worked 33 hours in 3 days and because of the extra effort I was able to take Friday off.
Couldn’t have been a better day, beautiful and sunny.

The run down and “relaxation” of the weekend began.

Friday
We took Abby to school
Mailed the first homeowners association newsletters
We took Abby to Ballet (Friday is busy for a little 4 year old)
After that Abby/Madison and Emma and I went to Taco Bell for “crunchy lobsters”.
Then we picked up Mommy from her class came home and went to bed…at least that is what the girls did.
I was on my way to Tony’s house for some XBox friday night until…

Saturday
2:45 (Guitar Hero II, You Rock!)
Then up at 06:40 with Lucas and Lexi and a bit later Tony, Tom, Ryan, and I golfed a round of 18 in Snohomish.
Back home by 15:00 to meet up with my beautiful and fabulous wife for our first date in about 12 months.We hit Etta’s downtown on the advice of my brother. We scored a window seat when we walked in simultaneously with a cancellation and overall it was excellent food and a good visit.

Sunday
Up like the Army at the crack of dawn to the unique reveille of a one year old, The General and I decided to make a surge and throw even more energy at the weekend. So we headed to Seattle again, this time to the Science Center. It was Earth Day the 22nd so all bus rides were free. Abby had a blast riding the bus

I’ve never been on a bus before!
You haven’t?!
No, not even on a school bus er nuttin.

So the day couldn’t be a failure with a start like that, and it wasn’t. We “experienced” the Grossology exhibit in building 4 and the good ol standbys in buildings 2 and 3 like touching salt water creatures, dinosaur robots, and planetary gravitation by proxy, as seen through the eyes of a marble and a parabolic funnel.

Turns out it was probably a good warm-up for Disneyland which is imminent.
The only thing that wasn’t at the Science Center were the rides and a giant Minnie Mouse the size of a forklift.
