Today was recovery day from the previous day’s traveling. Nicholas was up early at 0730 and nothing really would calm him…new diaper, bottle, nada. He was not a happy camper and we eventually figured out he was probably overtired from the traveling and hitting a growth spurt. He finally snuggled in bed with Mommy and Daddy and we didn’t wake until 1230 and didn’t leave until after 1400.
We were pretty exhausted! 🙂
We popped over to Patrick’s house and headed out to Easton, an upscale shopping complex in Columbus. They’ve got all of the really cool stores and restaurants. Their Old Navy is certainly better stocked for newborns than the one in Cary…we found Nicholas some nifty shoes with a soccer ball motif.
We then wandered about the main part of the mall looking at all of the cool things. We sampled bread dipping oils at Williams-Sonoma, cruised the aisles at Gap Kids, had some fries at Johnny Rocket’s…and then we nabbed some cheesecake at the Cheescake Factory. They have just about every cheesecake imaginable (so it’s not just a clever name) and other food (which is reported to be pretty bogus and overpriced). Mommy and Grammy opted for the Godiva anniversary cheesecake, Daddy went for the key lime (go figure!).
Afterwards, we wandered round Pottery Barn Kids. They’ve got some nifty pieces there…a cool work table and a kitchen set that is to die for. Seeing that there are outlets in Raleigh, I suspect we might be kitting out Nicholas’ room at some point with their wares.
Dinner was lasagna and the trimmings at Patrick and Suzette’s house… and it was mighty tasty after a long day with little to eat. The cheesecake was the perfect dessert.
