Sunday staycation


We didn't do anything too fancy today but somehow had a blast anyway. We started our morning at the farmer's market that's just down the street from our house. We, surprisingly, have never been before. This one is seasonal and the main Arlington is year-round. The main one also has more (and generally better) vendors so we just kind of got it in our heads that that's our market. But you can't beat a market you can walk to so that's what we did.

The produce selections weren't great but I was surprised to find two different meat options. In addition to a grass-fed beef place, our favorite bison producers were there. So I bought some ground bison and some pork cutlets. We also split an outrageously overpriced empanada and got a half gallon of goat's milk for Georgie (her new favorite).

After the market we hit a few local Goodwill stores, looking for dressers. We've been lucky to get a lot of hand-me-down clothes for Georgie lately but they're overflowing our apartment. We didn't find anything good though.

So then it was off to Target, where we got Georgie a much needed new array of utensils and dishes and cups. She has really mastered the straw now (see above) and, in our insane quest to keep her as hydrated as possible, we are excited about any new development in this area. So she got a few straw-cup things and some replacement sippy cups. Without a dishwasher, sippy cups perpetually taste like soap after a while.

Other than that, I can't really account for my time today. All I know is I had a great time just hanging out with the two super-est people I know.
