Livin La Vida Local: Pumpkin Patch La Salle, Colorado

Seeing how it's been a few days since the end of November and I’m slower than molasses
I wanted to post about our trip to the pumpkin patch! It seemed like the perfect time, with everyone getting ready for Christmas and all. We didn’t get to go last year. We got everyone packed up and on the road for the hour drive. Only to be greeted by a huge windstorm. Everyone was rushing to their cars, others were turning around to go home. Us being one of those people.
I’m glad we were able to go this year even though one kid wasn’t feeling up to it. We only had a few nice weather weekends left so we ran as fast as we could to take advantage. It was nice weather outside (maybe a little too hot.)

 

 

We went to the Fritzler farm park in La Salle, Colorado. There was a huge corn maze, tons of games, bouncy houses, and so much more included in our ticket.
Can’t say we did well in the maze. But we had kids with short attention spans.

The most important thing was the funnel cake anyway. That’s always a must !

And of course picking our pumpkins at the end!

A great family day !

Greece: Athens {Part 2}

 We had a glorious nights sleep and breakfast with an amazing view. We went down the road to get on the Hop on Hop off bus. This is why I love a Hop on Hop off. It's very affordable a lot of them come with 2 day, 3 day or more tickets. It takes you to all the main spots. You get off whenever you want and then get back on when another bus comes back. They usually come every 15-20 minutes. So you can go have some lunch do some shopping and a bus is ready for you at anytime. It's like having an uber driver, or even a personal driver. They also usually have headsets so you can hear the recordings for each stop so you can learn about the things you are seeing. 

We stopped at the Monastiraki flea market in the Monastiraki square. This place was a huge alley of shops with everything and anything you could think of.  It had decent prices and was open on Sunday. Some places weren't open on Sundays

Then we were able to catch our ride to the port. I thought we wouldn't be able to get onto the ship because it was earlier then we had requested. They took us straight into COVID testing. Then they gave us numbers and had us sit until they called our number. Well, they called my husbands number but not mine. Nerve wracking I know! They called me up and ushered me to fall this random guy who looked like a taxi driver on his phone into another empty tent. They told me I had a slight positive so they had to retest me. The guy was like keep breathing through your mouth and this is going to be uncomfortable. That it was they went deep into the nasal cavity.. maybe even into my brain I don't know. But the test came back negative so I was able to get on the ship. We got to our room which was a nice size. Then went directly to go eat at one of the complimentary restaurants on the ship. Then we checked out the pool and some entertainment. Ended with enjoying our view from the balcony. Which in case you were wondering. I'm so glad we got the balcony.

 

 

Stay tuned for Day 3 of our trip.....
