Of Gypsies and Cowboys

This morning over pancakes J suggested "getting away". So, we packed up and drove to the city. I wasn't sure if I was into making the effort; baby, winter gear, energy, etc., but it turned out really well. We got our Christmas shopping (almost!) done, had a solid dose of crowds and traffic, and enjoyed a killer meal at Milestones (I had the beef dip with yam fries-- yummers! And Jem stayed happy the whole time with a stick of garlic bread and yams!). We're home in time to get the hosue warmed up again and put a pizza in the oven.
