We drove to Norwalk yesterday. It was supposed to be crappy weather all day so we decided to go play laser tag. On our way there it turned out to be a really nice and sunny day, but we still went to Bowlmor. Apparently you have to be at least 4 people to play laser tag, so I guess we have to get to know some people here so that we can play against them, hahha. I have never done it so I was super excited. Oh well. We decided to go bowling instead. We did three rounds. We both kinda sucked through the whole game haha, but we had fun and that’s all that matters:)

It was a beautiful afternoon and evening, so we sat outside. First on our terrace but then decided to go to the rooftop (it’s on the back of our apartment with evening sun). We brought Thor, even though you’re not supposed to. So quiet and peaceful with a beautiful view and sunset. Then we had steak with roasted sweet potato for dinner and ended the day by watching The Magnificent Seven.

Today has been a lovely day. Went for a morning walk to get coffee, we found a place and booked it for our Hawaii trip, J worked out at the gym, we went shopping and then ate a late lunch/an early dinner at home. I’ve been sitting in the hot sun on our terrace now for awhile and J is watching football. T is sleeping:)

Good morning! How was your Labor Day weekend? We had a pretty relaxed one.

Like I mentioned, Jim worked on my blog most of Saturday. He took a break for a few hours and we drove to Walmart in Norwalk and after that we stopped by The Darien Diner. Super cute inside. Old American stuff. The food was great too! I can really recommend this place.

On Sunday, we had an early dinner at a pizza bar and then went to Bed Bath & Beyond. We were looking for a small pitcher to steam milk in on our new espresso machine, but they didn’t really have any. We talked to a sales person in there and she ended up giving me a pitcher from a displayed espresso machine for free. “I won’t get in trouble walking out with this though?” I asked and she answered “No, just hide it. People steal display stuff all the time, and I say it’s ok”. Aum, what? I asked her if she would be in trouble then, but nope, she just told me to pay for the other stuff I had and hide the pitcher when I walked out. Weird, but thank you sales lady:)

Yesterday, Labor Day, we didn’t do much either. It was lovely weather, really warm again, so we enjoyed our day on the terrace. J had a little art project, I was reading and Thor was sleeping in his bed on a chair between us. In the evening, I cooked us a nice salmon and potato dinner and then we watched Shameless and went to bed early. A very “married-couple” kinda weekend, haha.
