The week was fairly quiet overall. On Thursday we took Travis to the library and to McDonald’s for dinner. He loves the library! He knows exactly which section has all of the truck/digger books and takes about 20 of those each time. We got him a Happy Meal at McDonald’s but he decided my chicken sandwich was much better and finished it for me! Lol
Friday Travis went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for the day/night because we were going to The Cure concert. Travis had a blast playing with them and making an appearance at the toy store! The Cure show was AWESOME! They are almost 50 years old and sound exactly like their records still and played for over 3 hours! WOW! It was a great show and I still can’t believe how good they sound……you know how it happens sometimes….you go to a concert expecting the sound of the CD and get something that sounds like it was done by a group of kids-which is normally bad.
On Saturday we took a trip to Ballston to go to Rock N Romp. It was at an Arts and Crafts market outside in the middle of Ballston. Basically Rock N Romp is a concert for kids because the volume is lower, they have bubbles etc but it’s local bands you may or may not know with normal songs at a lower volume with some kids songs mixed in. We got there and Travis wanted to go to the Metro right then and there. We had told him we would take the train to Aunt Tammy’s after we had been at the rock show for a while. We wandered around the Arts/Crafts thing for a bit and bought a few things to save for bdays/christmas etc and listened to a few songs. Travis was excited about going to the train so we went to do that next. There was track work over the weekend so we waited about 15 minutes for a train but Travis didn’t seem to care. When we got off the train we noticed that there was some type of parade going on in Clarendon. There were fire trucks, policemen etc Travis thought it was pretty cool. We met Tammy and Sean down by her place and went to Hard Times for lunch…Travis once again decided my food was better than his. LOL He ate a bunch of my Vegan Chili Mac and I ate his hot dog. Then we headed to the toy store and took home a few treasures. The day ended up not so great when I rear-ended someone on the Beltway in the new car. What a bummer. Everyone was physically fine and her car was barely hurt but the Volvo has some cosmetic damage. Thankfully it had been stop and go style before that so we weren’t going very fast at all. Oh well-that is what insurance is for…right?
Sunday was Mother’s day…..always nice…… We went to breakfast at one of my favorite places-Silver Diner. I had my very favorite breakfast food-french toast and a health shake. Yummy! Travis had a massive meltdown in Target so that was fun. Not sure if something he ate triggered it or what. I ran some errands for returns etc in the afternoon while Evan and Travis played Legos. We went over to Mom and Dad’s for Mother’s day dinner which was yummy! Mandy, Charlie, Tammy and Sean were all there as well-good times! Dad picked up Famous Dave’s bbq with all of the fixings! We had fun exchanging gifts and also celebrating Charlie’s bday with gifts and cupcakes. Travis was a little more wound up than usual in the evening which makes us want to revisit his medicine possibly. Evan left to meet up with Chris to go to the Radiohead show. It took them over 2 hours to get there because of flooded roads etc. They had a good time regardless and were home around midnight.
