Daughter & Me Time

Casinodad's dad is coming for a visit this weekend, so he, The Prophet, & The Archangel took the 3 hour trip north to pick him up. That left The Princess, The Saint, & me. It just so happened that our town had a "Mommy & Me" day in it's downtown historic district. Four of the shops were participating. All you had to do was stop in, have your map stickered, then leave it at the last shop for a drawing. I figured they wouldn't mind The Saint tagging along!

Our first stop was a doll store - lots of lifelike, adorable dolls. What a darling shop! Next up was the bakery. I let The Princess pick out a goodie for us to share - Alaska Sheet Cake. I'd never heard of it, but it was very good! Next door was a tea shop, featuring many beautiful tea sets & fancy teas. Here we bought a couple tea bags (Coconut Vanilla, Lemon Ginger, Lemon Mango) & some green tea mints. Last stop was the jeweler's. Here we dropped off our maps & The Princess received a free gift - her choice of necklaces. She chose a plastic, silver one that had a heart w/ wings. She was very happy w/ her choice.

In all the shops we went into, she was very polite & well-mannered. She was gentle w/ any items she picked up. I was very proud of her.

On the way home, we stopped at Dairy Queen for ice cream. Yes, I know we had just had cake, but it was a special day for the two of us. We really enjoyed our time spent together & I look forward to many more "Daughter & Me" times.
