My Grandma is nothing like yours, I can guarantee it. I am fully comfortable stating this because my Gram is like no one else I know. You'd think she was in her 20's. Dating, traveling, fine dining, high fashion. The list goes on. So, naturally, I love to catch-up with her over lunch and we always pad enough time around our lunch dates to do a little shopping, our mutual favorite activity. Now that I have three kids the lunches have become less frequent so when we do carve out time to meet, it is such a treat for me. I never eat out or shop with three little toddlers! :)
Today we met up at Macy's for a little pre-lunch shopping where I found an adorable sweater and sweatshirt...I had to finally admit that Fall has arrived. Once we were done there we headed over to our favorite spot, The Nordstrom Grill but it was packed so we headed up the escalator to our second fave, the Nordstrom Cafe. We talked about how she was working with an interior decorator to help come up with the perfect plan for Mike's, her "boyfriend's", (I know, Gram, that is such a weird term to use but I can't come up with another one.) new penthouse condo in downtown Bellevue, intermingled with what we did over the summer and what activities the kids had coming up. It all came to an end too soon and I could have shopped all day but after we were finished lunching we headed back to our cars.
It was such a fun break from my spit-up filled life and made me feel like a real adult for a bit. Thanks Gram!
