Museum with Mommy

Friday, Jackson and I had a morning on the town. We met Christy and Arden for breakfast at Bluegrass Grille. I have never been there before, and it was delicious! I can't wait to take Blake there for breakfast. Jackson and I split the fruit and pancakes. We both ate breakfast for $6. Can't beat that. One other thing that was really neat about this restaurant is that the waiter brought out a medium sized basket of little toys for the little diners to play with while they are waiting on their food. I thought that was such a neat idea, because the novelty of the "new" toys kept Jackson's little hands and mind occupied while we were waiting on our food.

After breakfast, just Jackson and I headed to the Creative Discovery Museum. Honestly, I typically prefer to go on these endeavors with Blake, but I remembered that I have taken 25 3rd graders there by myself, so surely I could handle it. Just one 17 month old. And, it actually went really well. We got there shortly after it opened, so it wasn't crowded. I parked the stroller, and just kind of let him lead the way. He really liked "The Little Yellow House." He also liked the instruments. But, his favorite was the little room with all the books. We had a really good time, and Jackson took a really long nap when we got home!

This cracks me up. He is such a little bookworm.

Day at the Museum

Blake is off work on Fridays, and this week we decided to have an afternoon downtown. We took Jackson to the Creative Discovery Museum for the very first time. He enjoyed being able to walk around, be loud, and just have fun. There were actually a lot of things he could do...I had kind of wondered if he was too little to enjoy it. The only part he didn't like was when Blake tried to dress him up in the costumes. He did not appreciate it, at all. Fun times. I love my little family.

I do not want to be the captain of this ship. Thanks.

Curious George Hat

And I don't want to dress like an archaeologist.

But, I do love these instruments.

Jackson's favorite part of the Museum was "The Little Yellow House." It is an area in the museum designated for children 4 and under. There is a small kitchen, tree house, car, and workbench. He loved it.

Afterwards, we went out to eat lunch at Crust Pizza. Blake has been several times during his lunch break, but I have never been. It is delicious. The pizza has a super thin crust (similar to Dominoes thin and crispy crust). I highly recommend it.

Yummy.
