Road Trip to 5 Months Old : Day 4

A lot of things was going on this week, so I didn't have time to write. Let me try and catch up on Mya's road trip!

Monday, April 5th, 2010, we decided to get our nail done and then go to Ft. Lauderdale to see Christopher's place. His backyard is literally a beach. He lives in a condo and I love his place and his view. I would so live there if I was not married. There is a new Vietnamese Spa and Nail place near my Aunt's house and Mike and I loved going there. We make sure we go there every time we are in town. Casey and Shamere wanted to go with us. We would planning on going there at 10 in the morning, but someone was being a sleepy head and wouldn't get help. Surprisingly, it wasn't me being a sleepy head! If you know me, then you would know what I meant.

I asked my mom if she could babysit Mya for me and she was gladly too because she wanted to spent time alone with her. I didn't want to take Mya with me at the nail place because of the smell sometimes if there is a strong nail polish, etc. My sister asked me we needed to make an appointment since there were 4 of us. My dad wanted to go but he was busy buying something and he would meet up later. I didn't think we needed an appointment because it was a Monday and everyone would be a work.

Casey wanted a coffee so I dropped her and Shamere off at Starbucks and they said they will walk over to the nail place. Mike and I went to park and went ahead to the nail place. They saw us right away. About 20 minutes later, my sister and Shamere came and someone told them there will be a wait because they got busier. Mike and I got out pedicure done first and we both selected a premium package because we both much needed a pedicure since it been a while. I hadn't had a pedicure in a year because I was pregnant at that time and my midwife suggested not to get pedicure since they can lead pre-labor and I did not want that to happened.

It was so relaxing and never wanted it to ends. I wish I could hired a 24/7 feet therapist and that would put me in heaven! When we got our feet done, we wanted to get our hands done as well. We walked over to the front and I saw Casey still sitting in the chair. No one haven't seen her yet and I felt bad. And they just started on Shamere's. About 10 minutes doing my nails, someone finally saw Casey. When Mike and I were done, we knew we had to wait so we decided to walked over to the shopping center to find something to eat for lunch. So we tried this Mexican restaurant called Lime. It's like California Tortilla. After that, Mike and I decided to get Coldstone ice cream. So yummy!

When we were done, we walked back to the nail place and Casey and Shamere were almost done. I just saw dad too and he was getting his VERY first pedicure! He has been getting his manicure done before but I suggest him to get his feet done and he took my advise! Later that night, I asked dad how was his very first pedicure and you know what he said? He said, "I never put my socks on that smoothly and quickly!" He is too funny! Gotta love him!

Casey, Mike, Shamere, and I left and realized the time and we thought it was a little bit too late to go over Christopher's place since we had dinner at my grandparents' house at 6. So we decided to go to the pool for an hour near my Aunt's place. This is Mya's first time in a swimming pool! The water was cold and Mya did not like it too much. She cried and cried and then suddenly she calm down a little but then she cried again. I took her out of the pool and noticed she was getting a little sleepy. She wanted her nap. I brought Mya's bouncer to the pool and put her in the shade. She went to sleep right away. So we will have to try the pool again and hopefully next time the water will be warm.



We ate at my grandparent's house and grandma made us beef brisket! It is to die for! Grandma also made coleslaw, which is very good and Mike and Shamere actually liked them! And of course grandma made her famous cream cheese pound cake!

Well early today, my dad and my aunt went out for television shopping for my grandma. During dinner time, my grandma had to get something from the garage and when she came back in the house, she said "what's that box in the garage?" Dad and Gail was being sarcastic and said "what are you talking about?" And my parents and Gail told her that it is her early mother's day present. Well, my husband was so kind that he said he would installed the flat screen. He worked so hard because the tv barely fitting in my grandma's T.V. set. Mike had to take the doors off the T.V. set. So grandma can't cover the t.v. anymore. And that t.v. was there, he putted in the kitchen. And the one was in the kitchen, it went to Gail's bedroom. Grandma was so pleased with Mike. And she said "she wouldn't know what to do without him."
