Vacation: so close we can taste it

Dear Sweet Boy,
In a few days we will leave for our first vacation with you.

This past Sunday morning marked Josh's last service for a month. We celebrated the way that we always celebrate Sunday mornings, by letting Neil snooze in bed with us:


But, we also marked the day by going out for lunch. Thanks to Groupon (seriously, did we go anywhere before this was created?) we went to Goldfish in Ossining for a late lunch. It was delicious and blessedly affordable. Then on a whim we headed to Chiboust for dessert. Although they were not overtly thrilled with us bringing a baby into their chic little restaurant, he was of course completely lovely. Just look at the evidence.


We got something that involved chocolate and two cups of coffee. Although Josh has got one more week in the office and a Saturday night service, we are glory bound for some down time in just a few days. We are so excited.

  1. I'm vacation bound too! Unfortunately, our vacation entails not a stay on a beautiful beach or mountain resort, but instead, a trip up to Batesville to my mother's house. What's even sadder is how excited I am about it. Ya'll have a great vacation!

  2. Nothing wrong with Grandmama's house (don't you love referring to your mother in those terms? I find it hilarious)! It is a vacation for you. Make someone go into Oxford and bring you back some Bottle Tree for breakfast!
