We spent the day in Redwing, just relaxing and shopping and on no schedule whatsoever! Its fabulous! I have a backpack that Ive been using on the trip....and the little miss Lucy wants to be just like Mommy...so shes been carrying hers around too...filled with, of course, her dolls. Had lunch at the St James Hotel...which was awesome considering all our food stuff we have to/choose to think about! The chef actually came to our table to be sure he was taking care of us! It was very awesome! Then we found a Toy shop....enough said....sorry Daddy. Then we found a small little "co-op"...and lucy was thrilled to find treats she could eat!!! The picture is of Lucy sitting by the box of food we bought...randomness.I let her fill up a basket...rice milk, two plums, two tea bags, chips (to go with the peach salsa we bought from the orchard yesterday!), dried pineapple, dried mango, one banana, and some Grade B syrup! We played in a park that had some beautiful gardens! We found a little bookshop with the coolest play area/book nook! We learned about traffic lights, "pretty pretty" flower baskets hanging all over the city, bells on churches, the joy of elevators (and pushing the alarm button), train whistles, scribbled on the kids menu all of the people Lucy has ever met!, held hands down main street and chit chatted the way we do, met a few cool people along the way, bought matching winter hats from a Scandinavian shop.... it's the simple things.....and best part....all within a few city blocks. No stroller, no planning, no stress, just me and lucy having a blast. love.
