This past weekend, Todd & I were able to go out for a date night to celebrate my birthday without the girls and on Sunday, we celebrated our niece's 7th birthday at her party. We have 2 more birthday parties this Saturday as well for some of our friends' kids. May is always our crazy birthday month!
Our plan on Saturday was to head to the zoo for a few hours in the morning but literally as we were pulling out of our driveway, it started to rain so we had to change our plans and we headed indoors to the mall instead. The weather was so odd all day--one minute the sun would be out shining and 2 min later, there would be a downpour that would only last a few min before the sun came out again. Our babysitter came over later in afternoon/early evening so Todd & I could go out. He had made reservations at The Avenue in Dublin, their new location which just opened a couple weeks ago, and afterwards we went to Vaso, a rooftop lounge, just across the river. Both were fabulous and I just really love that we finally have some more dining and hangout options closer to where we live.

Dressed up for date night (and I can't wait for our hydrangea bushes behind us to bloom in a couple months)
Outside The Avenue
Todd got filet mignon (we split some sides--sauteed mushrooms & brussel sprouts)
And I had a white cheddar cheeseburger
We definitely didn't feel like we were in Dublin, Ohio while hanging out at the rooftop bar!
Our niece's birthday party was at 12:30 PM on Sunday and required a little less than 3 hour drive there so we were on the road by 9:30 AM and arrived just a few minutes early. We spent almost 4 hours at the party hanging out with family before making the drive back home. We'll get to see my in-laws again in a few weeks for Lucy's dance recital and then in July for Cece's 2nd birthday party.
Lucy fell asleep on the way up which shocked me! She's had a little cold the past few days so it must be wearing her out
