Busy weekend!

We had such a fun and busy weekend! Ok, Friday night wasn't so great at Quassy, but Saturday we went to the Weston Farmer's Market. Grace enjoyed the storyteller very much. We then went to MacDaddy's Mac and Cheese Bar in Georgetown. It was pretty good, but nothing amazing for the price. Then we went to Westport and walked around the sidewalk sale, got ice cream at Ben & Jerry's and then went to the Bon Odori Festival. We enjoyed hearing the drummers and seeing the dancing and just hanging out with friends.

Then Rich and I went to the Saltwater Grille in Stamford. We had a nice meal overlooking a marina and then drove around Stamford, where we lived briefly back in '01. Yes, we were there during 9/11. Then we drove around Greenwich and then as we were passing through Darien decided to hit the Melting Pot for chocolate fondue. What an eating frenzy!

Today we went to the Stamford Nature Center. They have a farm with animals that the kids loved seeing. There were turkeys and guinea hens walking around-free range style. The observatory was open for public viewing of the sun. We went up to check out the telescope and see the big circle that was the sun. No sun spots today-darn! There was a guy giving exotic animal talks and we were able to see an iguana, ferrets, frogs, millipede and turtle. The kids had fun touching them-or not!

We topped the visit off with play in the really great playground. There is a large slide and a bird's nest and a big hollow tree to play in. From there we went to eat at Route 22 in Stamford. It was pretty good. They told us that on Sundays from 12-4 they usually have a kid's club where kids get to do fun things while the parents eat. Since they were slow today they weren't doing it. Darn, again!

After that we went to Wal-Mart for some potty training supplies. Lord help me! Anyway, a great weekend was had by all!
