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.
