the long weekend.

Our Presidents Day weekend started on Friday with a trip to the zoo. I took Elsa and Oliver primarily as an excuse to get outside and enjoy the warm weather. Lots of animals were outside enjoying the weather as well, including the orangutans on the O-line.

Friday night we did our annual indoor winter campout. In the past we have made tinfoil dinners in the oven, roasted marshmallows on the gas stove, and enjoyed a TV campfire via YouTube. But this year we were able to enjoy our fire pit and a real fire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. The girls loved sleeping in their sleeping bags in the living room.

 

On Monday we decided to get banh mi at a highly rated Vietnamese deli in the Eden Center, Song Que. Our sandwiches were so good. We also tried a few of their smoothies which were also delicious.

A few interesting deli items.

We ended the weekend with a visit to Jones Point Park. It was a beautiful sunny day. But still pretty chilly. The kids didn't seem to mind.
