Back to the Grind

After a fabulous weekend, it is time to get back to my normal routine. Leonard, my husband, took Friday, Monday and Tuesday off and we spent an incredible weekend together. Friday, we just ran around, caught up on things, I went to the gym, and then in the evening we left for Palm Springs. We spent the weekend there, returning on Sunday in time for my bro's birthday but not before stopping at Hadley's and ordering a date-banana shake.
Then, on Monday, I hit the gym bright and early and we finished the day at Disneyland. While, yesterday was a day of preparing for the "real world" by doing laundry, cleaning, and the afternoon spent with my awesome nephew Daniel and the "Golden Girls" (my Mom and two Aunts). My mom came over so that I could learn an incredible new recipe from my beloved Tia Elena. Oh my gosh, it was soooooooooo good. Not diet friendly, but totally worth it.

While in Palm Springs, we had such a great time. We first went to the Children's Discovery Museum on Saturday morning and spent a good couple of hours there. Leo LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it! There was lots of interactive things for him to do, but his favorites by far were the painting and the motorcycle. I've attached lots of photos to show all the things we did there. It really is a great museum, and I'm sure next time we stay at the condo we'll be back. After the museum, we went back home had a leisurely lunch and lounged around the pool, I took a nap, then we went to dinner, listened to an outdoor concert and had some ice cream. It doesn't get much better than that.

Sunday, we got up slowly, I made a yummy pancake breakfast, and we sat around. It was awesome and so very relaxing. I felt really refreshed when we got home. Monday, we went to Disneyland. It was a great day, very few crowds but boy, by the end of the day, the weekend caught up to me and I was pooped!

Since my cousin's gone, I've gotten back into my regular routine of the gym on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings and have noticed the huge difference it has made. I've been feeling a lot better, not a 100% but much, much better.
Enjoy the pics!

I love those pictures! They totally warm my heart. Sounds like you guys had a well deserved break.

And I'm glad you're back to your routine. It really makes a difference in a person's mood. Lately, I've been doing yoga in the morning and can't believe how much more energetic/positive I am.
