Moving... The Ultimate Staycation

Staycations are all the rage now aren't they? You want a staycation that's almost like the real thing? Try moving! Here are all the ways our past week has been just like a little vacation:

• We didn't go to work.
  
• We packed, and packed, and packed, and packed!
• We ate out, a lot - and not just at restaurants - we had wonderful dinner play-dates with great friends and we also did some take-out.
• We got to sleep in a new place - a sparkling clean place at that!
• We're exploring our town in an effort to keep Nora busy and out of the boxes.
  
• ... And I've been spending like crazy - because who doesn't need two silverware holders?

This staycation is the best! With the money we saved on flights and a hotel we hired some movers and bought a house. Go us!

Here are some pics from our adventure today: Family Farm Days at Oregon Dairy. Nora played with baby chicks, petted a baby cow, rode in a barrel that was pulled by a tractor, attempted to go through a hay maze, climbed on a tractor, drank dairy fresh chocolate milk and, her personal favorite: played in a "corn box" - like a sand box but with huge kernels of dried corn instead of sand. All of this cost $2 (for the tractor ride) - free entrance, free parking, no traffic and really, really nice people.

After we left the dairy we stopped to pick up sushi - Nora ate her first california roll and loved it! She also sang "Broken Bells" to us the whole way home and "danced" in the car seat for our entertainment - video to come. Good times. Good times.
