She must be ours

About 1:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, Ang mentioned that she wanted to go to Tyson's Corner so she could get the makeup she was looking for to get purrdy for our friends' wedding. Then, it was a decision - go on Sat. afternoon, or go Sunday after church. If Saturday, we risk interrupting Mia's schedule two days in a row. If Sunday, it may just make the day too long.

We decided to go Saturday. We left at 2:15, right at Mia's nap time. As she's gotten older, she hasn't slept as well during our outings, but we went anyway.

We hit the Container Store, Crate & Barrel, Tyson's I, and Tyson's Galleria. Ang fed Mia in between the two Tyson's stops. Then, at about 5:30pm, after we were all finished shopping, since Mia was doing so well, we decided to stick around and eat at the Cheescake Factory in Tyson's Galleria. We had been walking around the Galleria for almost an hour, and she had been in the Baby Bjorn the entire time. We didn't hear a peep from her, as she was too interested in all the people, shops, and bouncing up and down.

Once in the Cheescake Factory, she fell right asleep in her carseat, and almost made it our entire dinner. Right as dessert came (you can't not get dessert at the Cheescake Factory), she started fussing and caused some consternation. But other than that, our little angel is quite the shopper. We got home right at 8:30pm, to make it a full 6 hours out of the house. Made for a very nice date, dinner, and outing.

Just thought I'd brag on our girl...
