Dress: So, Kohl's
Bow barrette: Wild Fable, Target
Last Sunday, my parents kindly offered to watch Charlotte so that the husband and I could go out. Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, we set off for parts unknown. Which means that we went twenty minutes up the Garden State Parkway to Allen's Clam Bar. I couldn't remember the last time I'd had fried shrimp, which is one of my favorite foods, so I was psyched to devour a platter in a place quirky enough to feature a shark tearing through its roof. Once we were full of seafood goodness, we hit (where else?) Michaels and Kohl's, where we scoped out the Halloween décor and picked up some essentials for Char Bar. Then it was off to Rita's for a root beer gelati for me and a chocolate concrete for the husband, followed by an actual walk in the park.
It was a beautiful and simple and memorable day, the kind I couldn't remember having in a long time. And that includes when we went out in July for our anniversary. Probably because Charlotte is a little older and sturdier now and because we put less pressure on the outing.
That said, it's always nice to have a day away.
But it's even nicer to come home.

Have a lovely week
Oh, what a delightful fun autumn outing! Love the shark photo. So pretty in a yellow bow! & I hear BOWS are trending! Especially, on dresses! I will admit recently, I had a good time with fried shrimp too! Still so much stress with the library coming together..the calmest co-worker I know has something like the shingles. Actually, over the last few decades she has had shingles a few times...Here I was thinking she had nothing to worry about..since she makes sure everything is running in the Maker's space.
🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🍎🍎🍎🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏 Thank you so much for the sweet comments! I greatly appreciate them. Oh, I try to make my rounds with all the characters, but I feel some keep slipping away..although, I am trying to bring them in, from time to time. & recently I have been watching "Mercer" in more C-dramas. I cannot believe this guy is 29 in real life. Hope you are all staying well. And all the best to your October which will be here quicker than we know.
What a nice scenery :D
What a lovely and memorable day it looks like you had, indeed!! I love your yellow bow and necklace. The shark coming out of the roof is so delightfully quirky! And, the park scene is absolutely stunning. The hint of fall on the way in the leaves (and store décor!) is a nice treat! 🍂💛
Sounds like you packed a lot into your time off!! How wonderful to have grandparents who you can trust with your beautiful baby for a whole afternoon. I'm sure they had just as good a time as you did!1 I remember those day when my parents would give me time to go shopping- so appreciated it.
Many a year ago, probably a good four decades, we had a shark coming out of a something (don't remember what) as well. Long gone are those days. Now I want seafood...
