THURSDAY:
Started the morning with breakfast with friends then pilates class then volunteering in my son's class…
My mom came to pick up the kids from school and I got to go downtown to meet my friends for this cool event for Maker's Mark hitting 4 different bars with different cocktails and appetizers all for free!
We ended the evening with a stop at a noodle place (Underbelly) then came home to relieve mom and say good night to the kids and caught up on our Game of Thrones episodes...

In one of the bars we went I used the ladies room and went into this stall that was sooo creepy.
It had a side room with this stair case going no where blocked by a wrought iron gate and filled with dimmed chandeliers…
Had to go back and take photos…

The owner said it was discovered when they were remodeling so they decided to add the light fixtures and portray it….

Road Warriors

This was my travel outfit on Monday… Inspiration:

The scarf was great for travel and I went with a soft cardi instead of a blazer. And since I was downsizing I had to wear the bulkiest boots which were the snow boots on my feet. So they kind of ruin the look but oh well….

MONDAY:
What a crazy day. Before we could even check in our bag we were given the bad news of our flight having mechanical problems and therefore would missing our connecting flight and had to go in to customer service to re-book! Of course it was a gigantic line with everyone in the same boat, the attendants taking forever to find alternating route for hundreds of travelers. The earliest they could get us to Boston was to take a flight 5 hours later then wait 4 hours in San Fran then take a red eye to Boston!
I could have just gone home and take a flight the next day which would make us loose a whole day and I felt what are the guarantees the next day's flight won't have delays so we said what the heck.

Took our time exploring our airport by stopping at every store than taking hour breaks of chilling. The issue with traveling alone with two young kids is nothing is easy. For example you take out the ipads and laptops and get settled and one has to go to the bathroom. You can't leave your stuff or the kids so now you have to pack it all up and go. Sucks. But we managed.
We landed in San Fran late afternoon. And by chance my sister in law was traveling to London at the same time so we walked to the international airport to see her off then had dinner with my brother in law and the kids. So it was an amazing opportunity for the kids to see their cousins!

Then things got really bad. The already late flight got delayed for another couple hours. They changed gates twice on us. The kids were beyond exhausted but we finally got on a plane and they did sleep most of it which was 4 hours then we landed in the morning in Boston!

Board games and art projects in the airport restaurant...

TUESDAY:
Went to the outdoor class and it was quite cold and chilly of course the kids don't care. Afterwards we went to my daughter's Dr appointment which took longer than expected. Actually it took almost 15 minutes to get out of their parking lot. She begged to go to the indoor play area we only had 30 minutes and it wasn't really worth it but went anyway.
Then had to go pick up my son and came home. Love tuesday afternoons cause we don't have to go out again. I fit in a work out 'before dinner' and showered myself and the kids so that I was done for my friend who came over after they went to bed to watch our shows…
