Okay, so it is Wednesday and the house is soo quiet because everyone is soo EXHAUSTED from our fun, quick trip! My hubby had a really important pitch for work on Tuesday so we decided to stay the night Monday night to make things easy for him. Because boy was he a little stressed! We drove down to Irvine (which is about an hour and a half away, but can be a three hour drive WITH traffic) during Miles' nap time so he slept the whole way. We got there without any traffic thankfully and checked into the hotel. Zach went into the office to work while Miles and I hung out at the hotel after being cooped in the car for so long. Miles was very excited! (Sorry for the terrible camera phone quality pictures....)
WOOHOO! Daddy got off work and we went to the Spectrum Mall which is HUGE! We ate dinner there, but there aren't any pictures of that because Miles was going bananas. He was literally climbing over the booth seats. I had to retrieve him so many times because he went straight ninja in the restaurant.
Once we got back to the hotel the boys watched some basketball (Miles' favorite) while mommy got to put her feet up.
After the game Zach went down to the hotel office to work a little more while I got the little one ready for bed and off to dreamland. He sure does know how to entertain himself....and me!
We all slept wonderfully! Zach got up at the crack of dawn to go over some things before the big pitch so when I woke up he had already left, but my awesome hubby left me this...(did I mention he is the best ever?!?!)
Miles and I (sort of anxiously) waited around the hotel to hear from Zach. Finally Zach called and said that he NAILED IT! He was so happy and got so much positive feedback from the client and his bosses! Off to the Spectrum to celebrate! (My boys make me the luckiest woman in the world!)
This was honestly one of the best family days we have had this year! This is such a beautiful and kid friendly mall. I would recommend coming here to any family!
We went on a ferris wheel for the first time as a family and the first time for Miles ever! He LOVED it. Although it helped that we were the only ones on at the time so we could just ask them to let us off because by our third time around Miles was ready to jump out! (My phone wouldn't let me crop out the pole...)
Then they have this cute little playground for the kids which is completely shaded and on the soft rubbery stuff. There was a cute little swing that Miles was totally into...NOT.
He made himself a little friend right off the bat. It was really cute actually because there just so happened to be three other babies his age there so they all played together. Well you know...by baby standards. (Again....couldn't crop the picture)
That little girl followed him everywhere. Miles couldn't escape! She was super cute though.
Especially once he noticed that we had a balcony...
Waiting for daddy to finished work
Okay so after spending FOUR HOURS at the mall. It was time to head over to the Dodger baseball game! Reliving this day exhausts me all over again.
But it was SOOO much fun!! And you know what a busy, fun-filled day equals?!!?! A baby that sleeps through the night without the slightest of peeps!
