Shoo Fly, Don't Bother Me

Last Saturday we made the 2.5 hour trek to Medford, the closest big city to us. We needed to go to Costco to get some supplies, so we made the most of our trip. First off, here is the bathroom that we stopped at on the way there.
Why they thought a gigantic fly on the top of it would actually entice people to want to go in I will never know. Brett went in, but I was saved because the women's door was locked and there was no way I was going in the men's. I just held it all the way there. We went to Ashland first so that we could go to an interactive science museum for kids. Kennedy had a blast. There were all kinds of things for her to play with, including a bubble room.
She wasn't too sure about standing inside the bubble, but she did it anyway. We had a lot of fun in the bubble room too.
We also found a room with a wall that would hold the image of your body as a shadow when a light flashed. Brett and I had way too much fun with that one. Kennedy was even getting bored and trying to leave while we were playing. Afterward we headed to downtown Ashland (which was absolutely darling) to a florist/chocolatier. I bought some drinking chocolate (the house blend) which was hot,thick, and absolutely delicious.
Kennedy kept stealing drinks at every opportunity and making a huge mess of it.
I also got two truffles. One was Ylang Ylang Citrus, which was just plain nasty, and one was Chivas which was made with goat cheese and was wonderful. Then we headed to Costco and spent way too much money, and then headed to Olive Garden. The drive to and from Medford is absolutely gorgeous, so we really enjoyed our time in the car as well. The next morning we had a family party in our bedroom and Kennedy wanted to hold Noah.
After a while, Noah wasn't too sure about the whole arrangement.
On a good note, Noah slept 8 hours last night! He slept 7 the night before, so it looks like he might be lengthening his sleep out, which is fantastic. Hopefully he'll be getting on a schedule in the next few weeks!
