Norman Trip

We spent half the week in Norman and it felt SO GOOD to be home and around our family and friends.  And boy were we busy!

Wednesday evening we took Beckett for his first swim!  More details to come on Monday's "Dear Beckett" post, but as you can tell he loved the water.  We had SO much fun!

The next morning Beckett and I got to tour my dad's office.  He works at Chesapeake and it was definitely worth a tour!  It feels like the ultimate college campus......except people work there.

Beckett just hang out and slept for the tour.

The brick building is the CEO's office.  They are building him a new one where the fenced area is.  His old office will then become the Chesapeake Museum.  Yes, you read that right....museum.  Behind that is the soccer fields.  I wish I would have taken more pictures of the grounds.  It's really pretty because the walkways are all landscaped and follow a winding creek.

 Hmmmm.... doesn't really compare to Wellington's grassless soccer field and "serene" mouse infested garden, does it?

 The gym is pretty amazing.  I have never seen anything like it.  It would inspire anyone to workout!  They have every machine imaginable, plus a swimming pool, basketball court, lacrosse, masseuse, and all kinds of classes. 

 Anyone up for some "Dance Dance Revolution" on their lunch break?

After our tour we went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch with Aimee, Mimi, and Colin.  Beckett got lots of lovings!

 We capped off the day by visiting Gigi and Thunder and joining Damon, Cori, and Hayden for dinner.

The next morning Gary and Guyla came over to swim with Beckett.  We had the best time watching his expressions and playing with him.

That evening my parents thew a little neighborhood meet and greet for Beckett.  Most of the neighbors have lived in their homes for twenty years or more, so everyone is very close.  I loved introducing Beckett to them.

We left about 7:45 that evening and made it home by 11:00 p.m.  Traveling during bedtime is the way to go!  And now I had better continue my efforts on the endless unpacking, laundry, and cleaning.  Why is it that one little person adds about three times the work for these sorts of things?

Guess he's worth it :).
