I wanna pet the kitty!

Well, today's post will be short. Sorry for the long post yesterday and any other posts that are long (but hopefully not too boring). Sometimes I ramble, and that goes for the blog posts.

Today we took it easy and slept in. We went to a children's store looking for a hat and umbrella stroller. Something inexpensive that we can cart Baby Boy around in. The store had lots of kid's stuff but didn't have any that were in our price range. Not to say they were expensive, just not at the level for our needs. We did find a good hat, though. The temperature here has been going up and down and can get windy at times. We had brought him a jacket with a hood but no hat, but we changed our minds. The store had a few other things in case we need them. Tomorrow or Monday we will head to another area that has a department store and supposedly the umbrella strollers we are looking for. We were going to go there this afternoon but the sky got dark, clouds rolled in, the wind picked up and we made a mad dash for the hotel. It ended up raining and stayed windy for almost 2 hours. We then ventured out once it was over for dinner and some pastries. We ate at the Mick's Patio place again, but we tried some new things. Heather got mashed potatoes and chicken, I got the potatoes and a beef thing which was like beef stew meets pepper steak. Both were very tasty and we will get it again, more choices other than pizza.

We did some laundry in the sink today, mainly skivvies and socks. We had to pack light for the trip, but those are two things we packed a little more of. It is tough to pack for 4 weeks in one suitcase. We put Baby Boy's things in a suitcase of his own, which we fortunately didn't get charged extra for at any point. He has his own ticket for the ride(s) back, so no worries there.

The hotel has a 'house kitty', a mostly black cat that we sometimes see down in the lobby. She is usually sleeping but a few times has been walking around. For those that remember what George looked like, she has a very similar tuxedo kitty look. Mostly black, white paws, a little white on the chin that goes up a little on her nose. Heather has pet the house kitty a few times while we were in the lobby. The cat is sleeping and just wakes up enough to enjoy it then dozes back off. Kind of neat.
