Winter Break

We were fortunate enough to have a couple days when all three of us were off from school/work.  We mostly took the time to relax at home and catch up on some housework.

But we also took a day trip to Brian's old stomping grounds (circa '00-'01), Norwalk, Connecticut.  We spent some time walking around our old haunts, and then visited the Stepping Stones Children's Museum and the Norwalk Aquarium.  Here are some cute pics.

Hey!  There's a meerkat on my head!

 We all had a great time getting away for the day.  Shayna is back at school today.  Mommy is back to work, and Daddy starts his new position Wednesday.  Sorry to see vacation go, but glad to have had some quiet time together.
