Staycation Part II - Georgetown Harbor Cruise, Blackberry Pickin', Sushi & Karoakin'

Some of the benefits of staycation is maintaining a toddler's naptime and also using the money you would have spent on hotels to buy yourself childcare and go out like rockstars every night.


Thursday:  Georgetown Harbor Lunch, Cruise and Fun in the Water.


For a little while, it almost felt like we were really far a way.  Sipping margaritas and pineapple juice under umbrellas, staring at water----while Reggae music is playing?  That would be "ultimate staycation replicated moment".


We're in the middle of a heat wave this week.  We took our kids out on a 99 degree day.


But we're good parents....there was a beautiful newly made water fountain right there at the harbor.  Daddy took off his shirt, Tristan stripped down to a diaper and well, the boys---they were running in without any hesitation!


Who would have thought you could go 25 minutes into town and have fun at a mini-water park, here?



Friday: First the city, now the country!  Let's head to Country Meadow Farms.   Hayrides, animal petting zoo....blackberry, swiss chard and green bean pickin'!  Bluemont Vineyards is included in your ticket, but naptime was approaching so we didn't get to do the wine tasting! :(


After Tristan inhaled half a crate of fresh vine-ripened blackberry (evidenced by his outfit), he then took a try of Swiss chard.  I actually think he liked it.

 


In the early afternoon, daddy let me have have spa time!  And then we met our couple friends out for a fun night of sushi and karoakin!    Staycations are divine!


Sorry photos taken with iphone.


Aaah....last part coming up!
