Today I had an appointment for Bubba to see a Pediatric neurologist at Cedars in LA. Tubbs wanted to skip out of school too to come along and I couldn't blame him. I was happy to have a day with just my two boys. After our appointment we were hungry and ready to grub. The Grove was only 1-2 miles away, so I took them over there for lunch. We wanted to eat at the Fat Cow, but their fried chicken was removed from the menu...so we settled for Cheesecake Factory. :)
I got the boys to try the fried mac and cheese. Tubbs wasn't a fan...but they loved the bread. Surprise-surprise.
After we ate a big lunch we went next door to Barnes and Nobles, which has three levels. It's beautiful. The boys each picked out something and then we wandered over to Sprinkles for some cupcakes on our way out.
I LOVE the Grove.
It really reminds me of "The Capitol" from the Hunger Games, but it just has everything. The fact that it has a Sprinkles Cupcakes, gives it additional bonus points.
The weather also was PERFECT for this time of year. Most people were cruising around in shorts. The Christmas Tree was up and decorations all around, but the weather wasn't telling.
While we played in LA, Luke took Wiggy-girl to Red Robin (her favorite place to eat) for dinner and chocolate shake. After dinner the lucky duck was taken to Build a Bear for a new friend...."Princess Flower."
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
