If you are new to X-tremely V,
thanks for stopping by!
You can read a bit more about me here to catch up :)
On to our weekend!
Linking up with
Our dinner plans for Friday evening got cancelled,
so we were able to just cook up some wings and hang out at home :)
Saturday it was too nice out to sit at home!
After the super cold temps we have been seeing this winter,
we had a high of 45 degrees and sunshine!
It felt like Spring!
We decided to take a drive, but had no idea where we wanted to go. So we hopped on 30 and headed east!
We decided to head to Akron and visit Quaker Square.
Unfortunately, there aren't many shops or restaurants there but they do have a lot of things trains!
X loved seeing the old train car restaurant and the train cars located outside :) An actual train went by on the tracks as we were checking it out and it was wonderful for him!

Afterwards we decided to swing in the Summit Mall so we could grab some Starbucks and X could stretch his legs a bit more before the hour+ drive home. We have never really taken X to the mall or anywhere that there are crowds of people. He was wonderful! He held our hands and loved walking all around! The best part is that the mall has a little train that drives around inside :)
Once X saw it we were literally running to catch up to it!
He couldn't wait to ride it!
Seriously, the highlight of the day!

Sunday we ran a few errands and stopped at Sam's Club for a couple of things. X had so much fun riding in the cart (under our supervision)!

sounds like a great weekend!!! The weather this weekend was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Now if it would come back for a long time instead of little teasers.
ReplyDeleteI know! I need Spring air!!
DeleteDrew loves the train in the mall up here. Isn't it crazy how 40 degrees felt like HEAVEN?! And now back to the 2 degrees it will be for a low on Wednesday. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteOur mall is so tiny here (similar to Midway in Elyria) that they don't ever have anything fun :( It was a great change of pace!
DeleteThe weather was simply amazing this weekend! It does stink that it won't last, but Spring WILL get here :)
I've been here for a while.. since I found you through Steph. Ohioans have each others backs!
ReplyDeleteI know you have Cassie! Thank you! And you are completely right...Ohio girls stick together :)
DeleteIt's been nice to discover your blog. I miss Quaker Square. We used to go there when I was a kid, and if I remember there were a lot more shops and things like that. If you ever want to meet at the mall and take the kids for a walk let me know. I love to take the little one there and she loves riding around in her stroller looking up at the lights. It's been so helpful to get out and walk there this Winter!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to discover you blog and meet you as well! I went to Quaker Square as a kid as well, but it definitely has changed since then :( I actually did a modeling shoot there many years ago! lol!
DeleteThat was the first time I had been to Summit Mall and it was pretty nice. I will keep you posted next time I head back that way :)
Aw sounds like a fun weekend! I'm sure my niece would love all the trains...she's had a major love for Thomas for the past year or so! I'm not sure when I started reading...but pretty sure I came across your blog through Erin's- and of course, I love fellow Ohioans!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun :) I think we both found each other through Erin! And YEH! Ohio girls!!!
DeleteI've been reading for a month or so now.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am glad you are following :)
DeleteAny weekend with trains is a fun one! I think I need that Booty Barre DVD, like right now! Hope you get some more consistent spring weather soon.
ReplyDeleteYes they are :) I actually ordered one of those dvd's for myself! I love going to the class, but when I can't leave the house this is perfect! Thanks Alison!
DeleteOh, and I am linking back to your dry shampoo post tomorrow :)
I just fund yu through Holly! Where do you live in ohio? I saw you visited Akron, I am close to there, but more south.
ReplyDeleteI have read from the beginning...but then again, I'm partial to the blogger. :)
