Spring Break 2013

Spencer's spring break was last week, but since Jack and I were in Arizona and Spencer was in Chicago the week before spring break, spring break was a pretty regular week for us. Spencer worked extra hours and I had work trainings, but we managed to do a few fun things we wouldn't normally do when Spencer is in school.

We met for lunch a couple of times during the week and I think I have officially decided what my favorite meal in Birmingham is - it is the Spicy Beef Salad from Surin West. I was never a huge Thai food fan but I am now.


Spencer is on a quest to find the best tasting BBQ pulled pork sandwich in Birmingham. We tried Jim N' Nicks this time and their cheesy biscuits were my favorite. I was also reminded that it is never a good idea to take Jack to restaurants.

 
 

Please don't report me about the knife, okay?
 
 FYI: There are a lot of cool churches in downtown Birmingham (and everywhere in the south). This is one of my favorites:
 

We took a quick trip to the zoo to see the new Lorikeet exhibit:
 

Spencer went to Bass Pro Shop to spend a birthday gift card from my parents when Jack and I were in Arizona and he convinced me to go with him again because he claimed it was better than Disneyland. ***SPOILER ALERT*** It was not better than Disneyland but it was better than any other outdoor store I've ever been to.


 

A friend from church organized a play date to take a tour of our local fire station. When I bring my 16-month-old to bigger kid play dates such as this, I feel like I need to preface my "hello" to everyone by saying, "I know my child has no clue what's going on but I'm desperate to get out of our apartment and talk to people..." :)

Parenting question!!! Is it okay to let Jack watch Gangnam Style on repeat while I make dinner? Will "Hey sexy lady" be in his early vocabulary now or will he just become a really awesome dancer?
