Spring Staycation - Day 1

My girlfriend, Angie, and I typically spend Spring Break together. Our 2 oldest sons are BFF's - so we try and get them together during spring break, since the school year is so busy. Not to mention - it's a bonus for us because we enjoy each other's company as well.

We had planned to go to the Zoo today, but decided against it since all the area schools are on spring break the same week and we were afraid the zoo would be packed and crazy crowded.

So today - DAY 1 - of our Spring Staycation we went to Joe's Crab Shack. They have an outdoor playground surrounded by a huge sand box. The kids LOVE it! They loved it so much that we spent 5 hours there. We couldn't believe it. We're fortunate our kids get along really well and enjoy each other as much as we do : ) The kids played, we ate lunch, the kids played, we ate some more. When it was time to go - they didn't want to leave. They had a great time.

Andy had such a great time. He was in his own world. Playing, pretending, digging -

it was fun to watch him!

I should of gotten a photo of me and my boys .... tomorrow for sure! : )

A huge added bonus for two mom's of 5 boys under the age of 7 is happy hour which means that my BFF and I get to celebrate Spring Break too : ) Here's to a Fun, enjoyable week!

What's the plan for tomorrow?? Possibility of rain tomorrow - so maybe someplace indoors or maybe back to Joe's for more drinks .... I mean FUN!
