How to pretend you're out of town for the day.

If I had it my way we'd be visiting a new city every weekend. But I don't have it my way. Yet. 
So sometimes you have to visit your own city. Here's how. 

Step one: Sleep in. Then when you finally wake up around noon and get ready, put on your hawaiian shirts. This ensures you get in the right mindset. Party mode, if you will. 

Step two: Have lunch at the Painted Pony outside on the deck. Order a vanilla italian cream soda with two straws. Take pictures, because that's what you do on vacation. 
Step Three: Take your dog to the dog park that's clear across town. He'll meet new dogs, you'll meet new dogs. It's all so new and so very exciting. 

Step three: Stay up late watching a movie and making out with your sexy blonde husband because he is sexy and blonde and you are on fake-one-day-vacation.



So this post is a fake. We did sleep in but that's not unusual and after we cleaned our house (so not vacation like) we got ready to go to lunch, and realized we were both wearing Hawaii type shirts. A mirror selfie ensued (Gab loves those). It is true that Painted Pony's deck totally feels like vacation but Gab is the one that ordered the drink and the waiter took it upon himself to bring two straws. Gab was upset he had to share.  When we went to take Castle out we decided that since it was Saturday we would drive clear across town to the other dog park for a change of scenery. But it's always true that Gab is a sexy blonde and how lucky am I that I get to look back on a day with him and realize it was kind of like taking a fake one day vacay.
